".
Madam President, the recession has got worse and this has given new impetus to the fight between the imperialist centres for control of the markets and energy sources and the channels used for their transmission.
Developments in Libya and the recent discovery of oil in the Mediterranean, and the friction which this has already caused, prove this. At the same time, NATO and the European Union are stepping up their interventions in the area. Turkey, on the other hand, is trying to improve its strategic position in an area in which conflict is rife and resistance is escalating. This purpose was served by the recent reform of the Constitution, which was welcomed with such gusto by the European Union and the United States. At the same time, however, Turkey continues with its occupation of northern Cyprus, its violations in the Aegean and its blatant disregard for basic human rights and democratic freedoms. The workers in Turkey know that there is nothing positive to be gained from the European Union, because basic rights of the workers and the people are being taken away in the European Union and because the European Union continues, as in the past, to support a series of reactionary regimes in the area."@en1
