"Madam President, the recent freak nationalist demonstrations, largely organised and supported by the Turkish army, are regrettably beginning to be exported from Turkey to the Turkish-army occupied northern part of Cyprus. Such a demonstration took place last Saturday in the Turkish-army occupied Cypriot town of Morfou. Extreme nationalist organisations such as the so-called ‘Grey Wolves’ held banners saying ‘We are not Cypriots; we are Turkish’, ‘Cyprus is Turkish and so it will remain for ever’ and ‘Oh, what a great blessing it is to be Turkish!’.
It is noted that this demonstration happened while the Turkish army and navy were illegally holding military exercises in the northern part of Cyprus. It is evident that the Turkish army generals are now attempting once again to frighten and intimidate the Cypriot population – both of Turkish and of Greek origin – in order to promote their political aims in Turkey. The recent warning message sent by the President of Parliament to the army chiefs in Ankara was timely and proper. In view of the aforementioned developments, I call upon the President to send a second message emphasising the need for the Turkish army generals to stop their policy of promoting intimidation and nationalistic hatred on the island of Cyprus."@en1
