"Madam President, the Turkish Prime Minister commented on the Oomen-Ruijten report on Turkey’s progress towards accession by stating that the report is unbalanced and that he personally considers those who drafted it to be unbalanced. A few days later, Turkish Cypriot trade union leaders rallying outside the European Parliament in Brussels chanted that the Turkish political leadership does not only insult the MEPs who voted in favour of Mrs Oomen-Ruijten’s report; it also insults the Turkish Cypriots who turned out in force in occupied Cyprus to protest against the repression exerted over them by the 40 000 Turkish troops and countless numbers of Turkish settlers. Speaking at the rally, Turkish Cypriot politician, Izzet Izcan, said that Ankara was violating international law by changing the entire demographic structure by moving people from Turkey, thereby putting the very existence of the Turkish Cypriot community at risk and emphasised that anyone who respects human rights, such as the European Union, cannot brook such violations. Shall we, as the European Parliament, brook this violation, Madam President? I call on you to convey this protest by the Turkish Cypriots both to the Council and to the Commission, so that they can take appropriate action before it is too late."@en1
