"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Turkey today is characterised by oppressed ethnic minorities, Christians forced to practise their faith in secret, priests brutally killed without the authorities lifting a finger, and an anti-Western foreign policy.
My party
has always been against Turkey’s becoming part of Europe because it represents a potential Trojan horse of radical Islamism in our continent. Now more than ever, we are convinced that the EU should finally put a halt to accession negotiations. The endless threats that Turkey has made against Europe must receive an immediate response. It is not acceptable for a third country to tell Europe what it has to do.
Cyprus is a fully-fledged Member State of the EU and has the indisputable right to take over the rotating Presidency. Europe must give a clear sign and show that it is ready to defend Cyprus with any means necessary against Turkey’s arrogance and its political and military bullying. We should interrupt accession negotiations immediately and also be ready to suspend trade relations."@en1
