"I am strongly opposed to the text of the resolution concerning Turkey’s European integration process. There is an EU-Turkey agreement purely of an economic nature for the energy sector for both supply and transit, but this cannot suffice for membership of the EU. Unfortunately, the attitude of too many hypocritical pro-Europeans is to pursue an accession process for Turkey. I would like to point out that in the first place, it needs to be a democratic state, and currently it is not in view of the fact that it has put a part of Europe (Northern Cyprus) under military occupation, has not resolved the Kurdish question, and its foreign minister has reiterated that Turkey will not have any contact with the European Presidency-in-office given that it will be Cyprus from July. It is unacceptable that the EU should give in to blackmail from a country like Turkey, which is a long way from meeting the criteria that Europe set itself in the Copenhagen agreement."@en1
