"As we have repeatedly stressed, the process of Turkey’s EU accession is being promoted by the major EU powers, which is not lacking in contradictions. Its objectives include integrating this large country with the EU single market, controlling its economy and making use of its geostrategic location in relation to the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia, particularly to access and control those regions’ energy sources and markets. This resolution’s recognition of EU-Turkey interdependence and its ‘significant role for regional stability and energy security’ is enlightening in this regard. Turkey is a NATO member and a major player in the region, as demonstrated by the role it is playing in destabilising Syria. The resolution downplays or ignores the repression of workers, trade unionists, those on the left and the Turkish people. As regards Cyprus, the majority in Parliament is maintaining its customary ambiguity; there can be no clarity, as Turkey has taken no steps towards recognising the EU Member State of Cyprus, refuses to engage with the EU Presidency in the second half of 2012, and is still occupying the north of the island militarily, in breach of UN resolutions."@en1
