"Madam President, the Commissioner and a devotee of Islam, Mr Füle, and Ms Ria Oomen-Ruijten have totally lost their way. The situation in Turkey is not heading in the right direction. There are lots of journalists being held in prison and cartoonists are being taken to court. Freedom of expression is being increasingly limited under the Islamisation agenda of the AK Party.
Corruption is rising and illegal immigration via Turkey is continually increasing. The most outrageous thing, Madam President, is the fact that the illegal Turkish occupation of a part of Cyprus, an EU Member State, has continued for more than 35 years already. The Turkish Minister Barış is even threatening to annex Northern Cyprus and will soon be carrying out illegal gas drilling in Cyprus. This is a threat of war, pure and simple, which Turkey is addressing to Europe. This is unacceptable. Every year we see critical reports on Turkey, but this Parliament does nothing. Turkey is even rewarded with more than EUR 500 million taxpayers’ money from Europe.
The report by Ms Oomen-Ruijten is a joke. It does not contain a single sanction against Turkey. If the Turks boycott the EU during the Cypriot Presidency, Turkey need never again return to the negotiating table, as far as we are concerned."@en1
