lpv:translated text	". Unfortunately, I am unable to support the Poos report because it assumes that the government which rules Greek-speaking southern Cyprus, is also authorised to conduct negotiations on the country’s accession to the EU on behalf of the Turkish-speaking north. In the fifties, I shared the view that an undivided and independent Cyprus would be preferable to an island carved up between Greece and Turkey following decolonisation. Unfortunately, this Cypriot state of unity which was established in 1960 did not appear to be viable and fell apart as early as 1964. During my visits to Cyprus in 1964 and 1966, it was already clear to me how foreign troops, by UN order, kept the regions occupied by different population groups separated. This was therefore long before the Turkish occupation of the north in 1974. I do not expect that the withdrawal of that army will result in the Turkish-speaking minority wishing to rely again on the Greek-speaking majority. A peaceful solution on the basis of free will is now only possible thanks to a confederation. If the EU renders it necessary to take the north from the Turkish population, war will follow. I denounce this war and the ensuing split between victors and vanquished."@en1
