"Mr President, for years the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament and the Greek socialists have consistently supported the prospect of Turkey’s accession to the European Union. Today, however, Mr Erdogan is being called upon to state whether or not Turkey itself ultimately wishes to accede, given that it is threatening Cyprus, a sovereign Member State of the European Union, with violence if it exercises its sovereign right to extract natural gas within the exclusive economic zone defined in accordance with the international law of the sea and given that it is saying that it will freeze relations with the European Union during the Cypriot Presidency in 2012. Turkey needs to provide answers and to decide what it wants. I call on the Commission to condemn these statements and to emphasise in its annual report that it is unacceptable for a candidate country to challenge the sovereign rights of a Member State and ignore international treaties."@en1
