"It seems several people are talking about Turkey today. Allow me, as Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Culture and Education, to say a few words about Turkish relations. Now then, in the northern part of Cyprus, on territory occupied by the Turks, a great many works of art have recently disappeared. Protected artworks, icons, paintings, mosaics and other works of artistic creation, primarily from churches, which constitute an important part of all of Europe’s cultural heritage, have simply been sold on the market. We have been informed that these artworks have ended up for the most part in America and Germany. Moreover, judicial actions are in process. I would like us to somehow reach the point that the members of the Council of Ministers are able to take effective action – either via their ministers of culture, or some other way, I do not know – to ensure that these works of art are returned to their original owners: the lovely, more than thousand-year-old Cypriot churches."@en1
