lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I condemn the Turkish threats against Cyprus. Ankara is in breach of international law and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which forms part of the European . It has not signed, it does not respect, and it is not applying this convention. It is creating tension by sending gunboats into the Eastern Mediterranean and it is using the unrecognised state to illegally endeavour to create an exclusive economic zone. Although it is a candidate country, it does not recognise the Republic of Cyprus, which is a Member State of the United Nations and of the European Union and which has the sovereign right to explore and exploit its natural resources. Turkey is acting as a terrorist state in the Eastern Mediterranean. I call on the European Parliament, the European Union and, especially, Baroness Ashton and Mr Füle, to stop this policy of sitting on the fence and, more importantly: firstly, not to open any chapters, especially the energy chapter; secondly, to warn Turkey that, if it continues its threats, its accession prospects will immediately be suspended; thirdly, I call on Ms Oomen-Ruijten to include in this year’s evaluation report on Turkey that, if these threats continue, its accession prospects will stop. Mr Rouček, do you not think that, when you talk about self-restraint on both sides, you are basically sitting on the fence and putting the offender and the victim on an equal footing? Do you not think that you are blackmailing Cyprus when you say that any breakdown in talks will result in division and permanent partition? Mr Watson, why have you not condemned Turkey for blatantly infringing the Law of the Sea, while Cyprus is respecting and applying it? I want clear answers."@en1
