"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, Commissioner, I would firstly like to remind Commissioner Füle that Turkey does not accept arbitration because it does not recognise the Hague Tribunal; and that this is not about international arbitration, but rather about threats made by a candidate country against a Member State of the European Union. This is not about tensions between two countries, but rather threats by Turkey against Cyprus, which have taken shape in the movement of Turkish naval ships. Threats that Turkey makes against a Member State are threats against the whole of the European Union. They unnecessarily increase tension in the region, and Turkey’s behaviour is intolerable when compared with that of the government of the Republic of Cyprus, which is making every possible effort to find a viable, peaceful and lasting solution to the Cyprus problem. I would like to stress the statement made by the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Demetris Christofias, to the United Nations, in which he stated that any potential oil and gas exploration in the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of Cyprus would benefit both the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities. In addition, one of the conditions set by the European Council in order for Turkey to become a member of the European Union was that it must abide by and sign the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, something that Turkey has not yet done."@en1
