"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Cyprus is the thorn in the side of Europe – a Europe that, purely for its own commercial interests, has not only not forced Turkey to relinquish northern Cyprus, which it invaded in 1974, but even lends it money. The people of northern Cyprus have seen their homes, jobs and religious freedom taken away. Your primate was even prevented from celebrating Christmas in the occupied area, because he is Christian, and more than 500 religious buildings have been destroyed and left to ruin. I hope the semester of the Cypriot Presidency will lead the European Union to take some strong stances against the invaders and finally act in the interests of its citizens and not of a few economic powers with commercial ties to Turkey. Mr Christofias, I wholeheartedly hope that you can succeed in doing something for your land and your people, who deserve once again to be masters in their own house."@en1
