"Madam President, the Republic of Cyprus is part of the European Union and behaves accordingly. It is circumspect and responsible in the standpoints it adopts and the measures it takes. On the other hand, Turkey has now been occupying for a considerable time a large part of the island of Cyprus and thereby part of the European Union.
In this context, it is really ridiculous that the European Union should permit a discussion tabled by Turkey on restricting the right of the Republic of Cyprus to exploration drilling in its territorial waters. I understand that the Turks would also wish to benefit from the wealth located in the coastal waters of Cyprus and thus also of the European Union. However, international law is clearly on the side of the Republic of Cyprus, so, we need to begin to restrain this expansionist appetite in a calm but determined way.
I believe that we will find support for this legitimate public criticism of Turkish military threats with our partners in the United States and in the international community. We only have to try and find it."@en1
