"In this resolution, MEPs have called on Turkey to improve its relations with its neighbours. Indeed, serene relations between Turkey and its neighbouring Member States are a key factor in revamping negotiations and dialogue. As we support the negotiations on the reunification of Cyprus, we deplore the threats from Ankara to freeze its relations with the Cypriot Presidency of the EU in the second half of 2012 if the conflict is not resolved. As an MEP, I note, however, the intensified efforts between Turkey and Athens to improve their relations. It is now important for Turkey to normalise its relations with Armenia. Through this resolution, I am standing alongside other MEPs to call on the Member States and the international community to support Turkey in its efforts to manage the humanitarian dimension of the tragic situation that the Syrian population finds itself in. It was also important to recall in this resolution that freedom of expression and media pluralism are at the heart of European values and democratic societies and to reiterate our concern about the practice of bringing criminal prosecutions against human rights defenders, activists and journalists."@en1
