lpv:translated text	"Mr President, mention was made earlier of the Minutes. However, I am not sure if everyone knows exactly what is going on with Turkey and Cyprus: Turkey does not recognise Cyprus. This is a direct insult on all of us here; on all of us who recognise Cyprus and consider the Members of the European Parliament from Cyprus to be our peers. And then Turkey comes along and says, ‘We do not recognise the Cypriots’. Consequently, it is insulting all of us who recognise the Cypriots. This matter needs to be examined in depth and we need to make this country understand that it cannot be the troublemaker of Europe before it has even joined Europe. It is incomprehensible. Imagine if it did not recognise Spain, your country; imagine if it did not recognise Germany or France: would we even be discussing this? There can be no discrimination between small and large countries. All countries are equal here and Turkey cannot therefore cock a snook at democracy in this insulting manner. If Europe is based on anything, it is based on democracy and respect for the other nations and Turkey cannot barge in and invade this place and insult institutions and values which Europe sorely needs."@en1
