"We have not forgotten that Cyprus suffered military invasion 30 years ago, at a time when the international situation was admittedly tense. We have also not forgotten that it was, and still is, split in two, nor that the Greek population was driven out of the north of the island and robbed of its property and land. Nor have we forgotten that the north of Cyprus is still occupied by a foreign power which brought tens of thousands of its citizens to the island and, in doing so, followed up military occupation with colonisation on a huge scale. We do not object in principle to either Turkey as a country or the Turkish community, which has held Cypriot nationality for several generations. We believe, however, that as long as the problem of military occupation has not been resolved, it would be inappropriate for the European Union to grant significant amounts of money to Turkey, the occupying country and yet a country which it is preparing to welcome into its ranks. We cannot support such a state of affairs, and we will vote against the Rothe report."@en1
