"Mr President, I recently spent some time in Cyprus, taking part in anti-occupation events against the illegal Turkish occupation, which has now been going on for 38 years. Turks hold 38 % of Cypriot lands when Cyprus is actually part of the European Union.
It was while I was in Cyprus that I learned that the European Union had won the Nobel Peace Prize. That may be a joke, but not for the people of Cyprus. Part of that award was for dispute resolution, but what has the European Union done to help the people of Cyprus? There were 1 619 people missing after the Turkish invasion. Not enough work has been done. Yet Turkey is still a candidate country and does not even recognise the Republic of Cyprus, which is an EU Member State. It does not even recognise the Cyprus EU Presidency.
What is the European Union doing about this? It is an absolute joke. I call for justice for internal refugees in Cyprus and justice and human rights for the families of the missing people."@en1
