"For the past 30 years, one third of the island of Cyprus has been occupied by the Turkish army. This army has committed ethnic cleansing by driving Orthodox Cypriots from their land in order to give it to Turkish settlers from Anatolia.
Not only have the European institutions failed to condemn this violation of international law which affects a Member State; from now on they will be funding it. Why is this the case?
The reason is that our leaders wish to remove all obstacles to the accession of Turkey, an Asian and Muslim country, to the EU. After having flouted the basic rules of geography which tell us that Turkey is not a European country, they are now flouting the principles of international law, although they constantly claim to adhere to these latter in order to preach at the rest of the world.
The only course of action left open to European nations is to reject the Constitution of this Brussels-inspired Europe next year."@en1
