"The report on the role of ΝΑΤΟ in the European Union has been used as an excuse to slip in the question of Cyprus’s joining the Partnership for Peace and ΝΑΤΟ. Respect is needed for the position of the Republic of Cyprus. Intervention in the internal affairs of a sovereign Member State to obtain an integration which is not dictated by any treaty is not legitimate.
At a time when the Republic of Cyprus is in the middle of negotiations to resolve the Cyprus question, fronts are being opened which have a very adverse effect on the process. The full demilitarisation of a homeland occupied by Turkey and the safeguarding of the sustainability of a future solution must be everyone's sole objective. Moreover, this is the position taken by the European Parliament in other reports.
We call on you to support Amendments 22, 23 and 24 and to vote against those points which constitute intervention in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. We call on you to confirm that the principle of respect for the sovereign rights of the Member States is inviolate, independent of your overall opinion on the Partnership or on ΝΑΤΟ. Our choice is demilitarisation and adherence to the principles of international law."@en1
