Jeg sagde ikke, at det er rigtigt, at der er et imperialistisk styre i Tyrkiet, men jeg sagde, at hvis Unionen accepterer denne tankegang, det vil sige muligheden for, at Tyrkiet kommer med i EU, samtidig med at landet har besat en stor del af Cypern, skal man ikke sige, at man ikke kan kalde Den Europæiske Union imperialistisk.
I did not say that it is true that there is an imperialist regime in Turkey, but I did say that if the European Union accepted this rationale, in other words, the possibility of Turkey joining the European Union while it still occupied a large part of Cyprus, you cannot blame us for considering the European Union' s actions as imperialist.
