"Madam President, the Council is aware of the events brought up by the Member of Parliament. As regards Turkey’s relations with the countries in the region concerned, Turkey – just like every other country – has a duty to act to encourage good neighbourly relations and peaceful dispute resolution. That is the essence of the UN’s Charter.
It is also an important requirement for accession to the EU. Within the context of Turkey’s negotiations with the EU and the related conclusions drawn by the Council, the EU has called on Turkey to avoid any threat, source of conflict or action that could have a negative effect on good neighbourly relations and the process of peaceful dispute resolution. Moreover, on a number of occasions, the EU has emphasised the importance of progress in the normalisation of bilateral relations between Turkey and all the EU Member States, including the Republic of Cyprus, and stressed the sovereign rights of all Member States of the EU.
As regards the matter of the Additional Protocol, the Union’s position is extremely clear. Turkey has a duty to apply it in full and in a non-discriminatory way. All these matters are systematically raised by the EU, most recently at the meeting between ministers from the EU troika and Turkey that took place in Stockholm in July and in the Association Council in May. I can assure the Member that the Council attaches great importance to these matters and that we will continue to monitor developments extremely closely."@en1
