"I voted in favour of the report by my colleague from the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) Ms Oomen-Ruijten, which calls on Turkey to improve relations with its neighbours. Indeed, I believe that ‘serene’ relations between Turkey and the neighbouring EU Member States are a prerequisite to establishing good relations between Turkey and the European Union. As you will know, relations between Turkey and Cyprus are at the heart of our concerns. I deplore, among others, the threats from Ankara to freeze its relations with the Cypriot Presidency in the second half of 2012 if the conflict is not resolved. However, Turkey must also normalise its relations with Armenia and take action on the Kurdish issue. Aside from diplomatic issues, Turkey must reform its judiciary and ensure respect for freedom of expression and media pluralism, principles at the heart of our European values and our democratic societies."@en1
