lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Turkish Cypriots living in the northern part of Cyprus are now gradually attempting to free themselves from the stranglehold of the Turkish army of occupation. Approximately 85 000 Turkish Cypriots have, since the Turkish invasion of 1974, been living under the subordination of Turkey, decidedly imposed by the presence of 40 000 Turkish troops. After Cyprus’ succession to the EU in 2004, Turkish Cypriots are beginning to feel secure enough to start openly expressing their desire for freedom from Turkish domination. In this respect, hundreds of Turkish Cypriot university students recently held a demonstration in occupied Nicosia against the Turkish army of occupation. A few days later, a prominent Turkish Cypriot politician, Mustafa Akinci, dared to make a fierce attack on the occupation of Cyprus by Turkish troops. The struggle of Turkish Cypriots against the Turkish army of occupation of the northern part of Cyprus has begun. It is gaining momentum and it deserves our full support if we are ever to see a united, independent Cyprus in which the principles of justice and democracy are fully upheld."@en1
