"Madam President, I wish to comment in particular on the Cyprus question, as presented in Mrs Oomen-Ruijten’s motion for a resolution. One year on and the colonisation continues, the presence of the occupying army continues in Cyprus and, not only that; for about a month now, we have seen Turkish Cypriots protesting against the presence of Turkish troops on the island and against the economic situation in the occupied area caused by the presence of the Turkish occupying army. How did the Prime Minister of Turkey respond? By saying that it is in Cyprus not for the benefit of the Turkish Cypriots, but for Turkey’s strategic interests. The moral values and principles of the European Union will not allow it to sacrifice Cyprus on the altar of Turkey’s progress towards accession and I must say, as a socialist colleague reminded the House – and it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck – that it was not Cyprus that invaded Turkey; it was Turkey that invaded Cyprus. Let us not forget that."@en1
