lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I shall refrain from commenting on Mr Van Orden’s arguments, firstly, because I do not want to use up my time and, secondly, because he has – and not for the first time – confused the perpetrator with the victim in Cyprus. We are in favour of Turkey’s accession, if that is the will of its people and provided that it satisfies all the accession criteria. In order for this to happen, Turkey needs to find a real political solution to the Kurdish question and to release the hundreds of Kurdish mayors and town councillors being held in its gaols, and it needs to work to establish the rule of law, recognise the Armenian genocide and resolve its problems with Greece, especially in the Aegean. On Cyprus, it must stop hiding behind what happened in 2004. It is already 2011. It must immediately hand the town of Famagusta over to its inhabitants – we are talking about a European town with a European history dating back several thousand years, a town which has been left to the ravages of time for nearly four decades – and it must start withdrawing its occupying troops from Cyprus immediately. To close, I would remind you of the protests by Turkish Cypriots calling, Mr Van Orden, for Turkey to give them a say in their own affairs. Instead, Eroglu has called for the protesters to be brought to trial. Turkey needs to respect the wishes of the Turkish Cypriots, by allowing a census to be taken in the occupied area and by putting an end to colonisation and allowing the names of the towns and villages to be shown on the map as they were for thousands of years."@en1
