"Mr President, last week formations of Turkish fighter planes repeatedly and provocatively violated Cypriot airspace. At the same time, the Turkish army occupying Northern Cyprus has continued to strengthen its foothold on the island by increasing and enhancing its forces with more sophisticated American-made heavy weaponry.
These grossly illegal actions are causing much concern to the civilian population, risk causing a dangerous confrontation with Cyprus’ defences and are seriously undermining efforts to achieve long-lasting peace in the region.
Will the President of this Parliament have the determination to send a strong message to the Ankara Government, telling it in no uncertain terms to stop violating the integrity of an EU Member State and start making an effort to behave like a civilised nation at last? Or, should we all just accept and resign ourselves to what many ordinary people in the street think, namely that the EU is just a big business, making more money for the big Member States, and does not give tuppence about the safety and wellbeing of the smaller Member States?"@en1
