The report on Turkey adopts two measures and two weights, says George Georgiou, MEP of the Left Group in the European Parliament, when asked by CNA to comment on the report.
Georgiou notes that the report is rightly critical of the ongoing curtailment of human rights, the violation of the rule of law, the role of the judiciary, the control of the media in the country, but at the same time downplays ongoing provocations and illegal actions by Turkey against Cyprus, Greece, its neighbours and even the EU that contribute to destabilisation and insecurity.
In addition, Georgiou advocates "the unblocking of the high-level political dialogue, provided however that it does not continue to slide into damaging behaviour that harms the EU and its member states."
He also points out that the report advocates the adoption of two measures and two stages in the implementation of international law and the emphasis on the militarisation of international relations.
On the Cyprus issue, the left-wing MEP stresses that initiatives must be taken to ensure that Turkey abandons the two-state solution and resumes negotiations, which must start from the point where they were interrupted in 2017.
