A World of Broken Promises > President of the EU-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Committee
Statement made by Joost Legendijk, President of the EU-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Committee, during his visit to Northern Cyprus on 9 April 2005 (Turkish News Agency on 9 April 2005, unofficial translation)
"Europe is not standing behind its words. In the aftermath of the Turkish Cypriot "yes" vote at the referenda held in Cyprus last year, EU has promised that it would end the isolation of the Turkish Cypriots. Unfortunately, till today EU has been unsuccessful in fulfilling its promises…. Ending the isolation is in the interest of all parties.
