lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Mr Christofias, ladies and gentlemen, the press in my country has asked me: ‘Will you support Cyprus, even though the president is a Communist?’ I replied that we will support Cyprus precisely because the president is a Communist, who has been democratically elected by his people, since democracy is the core value of a Europe that is proud of its democratically elected presidents. You took a big step, Mr Christofias, in asking the European Union not to export its model of democracy. I totally agree with you. We do not intend to export democracy, rather we want to promote democracy and I think we are doing that by reminding Turkey that the military occupation of northern Cyprus is an injustice and that it must be up to the Cypriot people to find the best way forward for themselves. We promote democracy when we remind those now taking power in the southern Mediterranean – such as in Egypt – that it would be an injustice to enforce Sharia law on 10 million Coptic Christians, and that it would be an injustice to return to female genital mutilation with a law that has no grounding in reality. Mr Christofias, these are the reasons why I think you are facing six months of serious and strange contradictions; as a Communist you will want to help workers, and to do so you will find yourself having to support banks, which have no doubt also had a negative impact in some phases of our crisis. I think that by the end of these six months, we will all be a little more Cypriot and you might be a little less Communist."@en1
