lpv:translated text	"I have voted against the resolution (adopted by 422 votes to 30, with 47 abstentions) prior to Cyprus’s referendums on 24 April, because the European Parliament would thus be contributing to the Turkish occupation of the northern part of the island. The resolution clearly supports the Annan plan. Previously, the European Parliament has consistently referred to the UN resolutions on Cyprus, demanding that the occupation cease and that there be an end to the division of the country. The occupation forces are being reduced in number, but are to remain in place for an unspecifiable period. Turkey continues to be given the right to intervene unilaterally, and its occupation continues, even though it is being reduced from 37% to 28.5% of the island. A number of the Greek Cypriot refugees are being allowed to return to their occupied homes. Others are being offered financial compensation in the form of bonds that can be redeemed, for an unknown value, in 20 to 25 years’ time. Cyprus is not being allowed to contribute to, and support, the EU’s security and defence policy in its territory without the approval of the Turkish Government. In practice, Cyprus will not be a fully-fledged EU Member State. Turkish citizens are being given the same rights to visit, and stay in, Cyprus as Greek citizens. Cyprus cannot enter into Schengen cooperation because the whole of the Turkish population would be given free entry to the Schengen area. Cyprus’s presidents are being urged to request that the European Court of Human Rights overturn all the judgments in which Greek Cypriot refugees have been given the right to recover their property in the northern part of the island."@en1
