lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, last week was the 16th anniversary of the end of the division of Germany. This year is the 31st anniversary of the division of Cyprus; almost half of Cyprus is occupied by Turkey. Until 16 years ago, Germany was divided by Russian Communism. Today Cyprus is divided by Turkish Fascism, and Turkish occupation is continuously being strengthened. Recently, after threatening UN observers, the Turkish forces extended their grip into the UN buffer zone in the region east of Nicosia. I managed to lower the Turkish flag from a new military post being built in that area and brought it here today in order to remind my fellow MEPs, once again, that an EU Member State is occupied by a candidate country and yet the EU seems strangely able to tolerate this absurd situation. I wish to hand this flag to you, Mr President, and request that you send it to the Turkish premier telling him that our patience has run out and that he must, without further delay or excuses, get his occupation troops off Cypriot European Union soil."@en1
