lpv:translated text	"Madam President, we in the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament want to see Turkey taking a strong role, particularly in the region of the Eastern Mediterranean. We wish to have Turkey as a partner. However, a partner must behave like a partner. Unfortunately, what we are witnessing at present is far from partnership. We were very pleased to hear foreign minister, Mr Davutoğlu, say that Turkey was interested in politics that did not involve conflict with its neighbours. However, when I think of Israel and Cyprus, conflicts between Turkey and its neighbours seem to be growing in number. This is unacceptable to us. Turkey must accept that Cyprus is a Member of the European Union and enjoys our full solidarity. When, as is the case at present, Turkey tries to put Cyprus under pressure with its warships, when Turkey makes a foreign policy statement saying ‘We will not talk to Cyprus when it holds the Presidency of the European Union’, then this is unacceptable to us. We are faced with policies that do not just target the Greek population of Cyprus, but also the Turkish population, because they make it increasingly difficult to reach an agreement within Cyprus itself. What we want is for the island, the country and the population to be united. We want both parts of Cyprus to cooperate and insist that negotiations must take place. However, this also requires a willingness on Turkey’s part to act in partnership. On behalf of my group, I would like to state that we stand in complete solidarity with our colleagues in Cyprus and with the Cypriot population. Cyprus is doing the right thing. I would urge Turkey to respect the fact that Cyprus is an independent Member of the European Union and has our full solidarity."@en1
