Greek President Pavlopoulos: Turkish Army Invasions Contrary to EU Law based Cyprus Issue solution
*Strasbourg/CoE/Angelo Marcopolo/- Foreign Military Interventions by Turkey are incompatible with a Solution of Cyprus' Issue based on EU Law, stressed the President of Greece, professor Prokopis Pavlopoulos, who is also a French-educated Specialist on Legal issues concerning Public Law of the State.
He was Replying to a Question raised by Liberal French MEP Comte at PanEuropean CoE's Plenary Assembly's Spring 2017 Session this week in Strasbourg (24-28/4/2017), where he was invited to make a Keynote Address to MEPs Today, just Before a Speech at Strasbourg University's "Political Science Forum", scheduled for Later this Aftenoon, on "European Values", (See relevant "Eurofora"s NewsReport at : ...).
The Cyprus Issue is "an Open Wound" since it still Faces, since 1974, a Foreign Military Occupation, he observed, speaking of Ankara's Invasion/Occupation troops at the Northern Part of the Island.
In Fact, it's an International and particularly European Poblem, and not just a National Problem for Greece and Cyprus, he stressed.
Indeed, a Solution of Cyprus Issue could better be found on the Basis of EU Law. Because Cyprus is a Member of the EU, and even of its core area of €uozone, while, in Addition, it's Only a Solution Based on EU Law which could apply the EU Acquis, professor Pavlopoulos observed.
He referred, specificaly, inter alia also f.ex. to "Article 4§2" of the "Primary EU Law", related to EU Member States' "Sovereignity", which is Incompatible with Military Occupation, Foreign "Guarantees", etc.
A Precedent was f.ex. "Germany's ReUnification", where the full Application of EU Acquis had to Wait, from 1989 up to 1993, until the Last Soldier of former USSR Left the Eastern German area, as also the New President of Germany, Experienced former Foreign Minister Steinmeier, recently evoked in EU Parliament in Strasbourg.
Otherwise, it could even create a different, Dangerous Precedent for EU Member States, Risking to Undermine National Sovereignity of EU Countries, so that Noone would ever commit the Crime to yield to something which would Hinder EU's Unity and ability to Defend is own Family. It's Not Only about Cyprus itself, the President of Greece Warned.
Moreover, even Turkey would Gain from a Solution of Cyprus' Issue, while also Turkish Cypriots are Victims of the current situation, he pointed out.
UN sponsored Cyprus Talks have become practicaly Stalled, under various Pretexts, since Turkey presented, a few Months ago, official Claims to maintain Troops at the Island and for other Unilateral Military Interventions in the Future again.

Speaking exclusively to "EuroFora", the New EU Parliament's President, former Polish Prime Minister, ChristianDemocrat/EPP MEP Jerzy Busek, welcomed proposals by EuroFora about innovative ways for EU Citizens to attend EU debates before important final decisions which affect people's lives.
- "We (EU Parliament) must be transparent", Buzek stressed from the outset. "We must have clear answers also for delicate questions. If we don't touch a problem, you must know why, and when shall we decide in the nearest future".. "Because "we (EU) must think about Europeans, first of all : They don't understand well what is going on in the EU. So, it's our duty to inform them, to make discussions here more interesting".
"EuroFora" congratulated President Buzek for the anouncement he made, from the 1st day of his election in Strasbourg (on Tuesday, 14 July 2009), on his intention to make transparent debates, exchanges of views, etc. before the final adoption of decisions in EU Parliament's Plenary, when issues are evolving inside Committees, (See earlier publication).
And we reminded, in this regard, that "EuroFora" has been advocating a project for EU Citizens' active involvement in pluralist EU debates before important EU decisions, since more than a Decade : 1997-2007+
- "Thank you. We (EU Parliament), indeed, have exciting debates", Buzek replied. But, in practice, "without a possibility for our Citizens to see them, not even by the Press, the Radio or TV, etc., because it is in Committees", he regreted.
- "But, they (i.e. Media, Citizens, etc) might interact with you, with MEPs, etc, May be we can imagine something", "EuroFora" proposed.
- "Yes, (but) it needs, a quite new idea", Buzed observed.
- "Why not through some innovations ?", "EuroFora" suggested.
- "Precisely, "EuroFora" has such a project, since more than a Decade (1997-2009), to use new technologies for public debates before major EU decisions are taken", we reminded.
- "If you have such proposals, please come to us, come to us. We must" do something, agreed the new EU Parliamen's President.
For that purpose, obviously information and debates are valuable, but purely instrumental, procedural means which can help focus on, and highlight a substantial content, attractive to EU Citizens, which needs to be determined by other, political, and not mediatic factors.
Buzek spoke about the urgent need to overcome the Global Economic Crisis, the struggle for Human and Civic Rights, Democracy, etc., the Eastern Partnership, links with Russia, strategic partnership with USA and emerging countries, etc.
But he also used (while speaking both to "EuroFora" and other Media) the expression : "The Europeans", for EU Citizens. This points right towards what several important EU leaders (including French President Sarkozy, German Chancellor Merkel, etc) have started to highlight particularly during the recent years : That there is a vital need, and an historic opportunity, for the development of a European Conscience, to stimulate e renaissance of a European Identity able to attract Popular support, for the EU to become a strong player in a Multopolar World : In other words, the revitalisation of a project for a "Political Europe".
By a coincidence, this was indirectly but surely reminded, earlier in Strasbourg, by another ... Busek (this time with a "s") :
Speaking to more than 650 participants from CoE's member countries, at the conclusion of the 2009 Summer University of its Political Schools, Erhard Busek, (with an "s"), former vice-Chancellor of Austria and EU Coordinator for South-Eastern Europe, pointed at the current need to revitalize Europe's "Identity", forged by Greek philosophy and Roman Law, Christian values and Enlightment's ideas, etc. through the ages.
- "We have almost the same name with Jerzy Buzek (EU Parliament's new President, who is a former Polish Prime Minister), because both our Families come ...from the same village, located at the Heart of Europe, which was often shared between Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic. But my family emmigrated a long time ago to Austria, while Jerzy Buzek's family remained in Poland", explained f. vice-Chancellor Erhard Busek to "EuroFora".
An astonishingly concrete and simple example of European Integration from the grassroots : Starting by EU Citizens, i.e. those "Europeans", that EU Parliament's new President, Jerzy Buzek (this time with a "z"), wants to bring alongside MEP's decision-making proces, (according to "EuroFora"'s main idea : Comp. supra)...
