"Mr President, I am the last of the speakers and for that reason I should like to put a question to Mr Seixas da Costa and to Mr Verheugen, if Mr Verheugen will kindly put on his headphones and if he is interested in hearing all the speakers.
Granted, it is an issue concerning two communities, but it is not
an issue concerning two communities. As many speakers have said, we have a state of occupation; occupation by a country applying for membership of the European Union – Turkey – of part of another country that is also applying for membership. There are 40 000 troops and a modern-day Berlin Wall in Nicosia nowadays. We cannot predict what will happen purely on the basis of the talks between Mr Denkta� and the President of the Republic of Cyprus.
The question I want to put to Mr Seixas da Costa mainly, but to Mr Verheugen as well, is what issues will the Council be raising with the Turkish Government, bearing in mind the Association Council too, in connection with this matter? What issues will it raise concerning the withdrawal of troops and the Turkish Government’s contribution towards resolving the Cyprus issue?
I remind you that, in a recent decision by the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, the Turkish Government was censured. Not Mr Denkta�, not something with no legal existence, the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’, but the Turkish
Government, for its appropriation of Greek estates.
I ask you: what issues are to be raised at the Association Council concerning Turkey’s contribution towards resolving the Cyprus issue?"@en1
