Just recently, President Erdogan said that Turkey&#8217;s strategic goal was full EU membership\u2026<br \/>\nHe was saying, &#8220;The EU is our strategic priority.&#8221;<br \/>\nAt times, when he gets angry he has even said, &#8220;You go your way, and I&#8217;ll go mine,&#8221; but at this point, it is the EU that is &#8221;showing the way out&#8221;&#8230;<br \/>\nThe report systematically lists how far Turkey is from the EU&#8217;s values and norms without being harsh&#8230;<br \/>\nIt talks about Turkey&#8217;s &#8220;weaknesses&#8221; in areas such as democracy, the rule of law, respect for the sovereignty of other countries, international law, and minority rights&#8230;\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 It does not exclude or dismiss Turkey but suggests cooperation rather than conflict, recognizing its &#8220;worth&#8221; and importance and proposing \u201cgood neighbourly relations\u201d&#8230;<br \/>\nAccording to the report, Turkey is of strategic importance in terms of the economy, energy, and foreign policy&#8230;<br \/>\nA key partner\u2026<br \/>\nAn important ally within NATO&#8230;<br \/>\n<strong>However, this is not enough for &#8220;EU membership&#8221;&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>The 40-point report reveals that Turkey is decades away from getting \u201ccloser\u201d to the EU&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>So, will Turkey abandon this &#8220;strategic priority&#8221;? Can it truly part ways with the EU?

Will it open up to reforms, and embrace Western standard democracy, human rights, freedom of the press, and the rule of law?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>At least for now, it doesn&#8217;t seem so&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>So, what about us, the Turkish Cypriots, what will become of us? Member of the European Parliament Niyazi K\u0131z\u0131ly\u00fcrek recently provided detailed information about the report to some members of the media. K\u0131z\u0131ly\u00fcrek is one of the few members of parliament who did not vote &#8220;yes&#8221; on the report because he supports Turkey&#8217;s EU membership&#8230;<br \/>\nHe is waging a serious &#8220;struggle for rights&#8221; for Turkish Cypriots in EU institutions\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>And he has achieved important successes on some issues\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>But he is not at all pleased with the situation\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>He says that Turkish Cypriots need to be much more &#8220;visible&#8221; in EU institutions and points to the European Parliament elections&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>He calls on civil society, political parties, and intellectuals&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>He emphasizes the importance of Turkish Cypriots participating strongly in these elections and sending at least one representative to the parliament&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>He even relates his candidacy to the will, desire, and participation of Turkish Cypriots in this matter&#8230;<br \/>\nHe is trying to say, &#8220;If you are there, count me in too.&#8221;<br \/>\nNiyazi K\u0131z\u0131ly\u00fcrek was not elected to the European Parliament with Turkish Cypriot votes only.<br \/>\nBut he became our voice and ears there. He worked like an army on his own&#8230; I agree with Niyazi K\u0131z\u0131ly\u00fcrek.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>We need to succeed in becoming more &#8220;visible&#8221;.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>The EP report contains many positive aspects about Turkish Cypriots that can be used&#8230;<br \/>\nThe report sees Turkish Cypriots as &#8220;a European community&#8221; and tells Turkey:<br \/>\n&#8220;The rights of the Turkish Cypriot community are guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus. They are a legitimate community on the island. Their place is in the EU.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe report also tells the Commission, &#8220;Intensify your efforts to establish relations with them&#8221;.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>As for the Greek Cypriot side, the report tells them, &#8220;You are responsible for facilitating the relations of the Turkish Cypriots with the EU&#8221;.
