Turkey cannot control the European institutions says Minister of Defence

Turkey cannot control the European institutions and its audacity and arrogance are certainly not accepted by EU institutions Defence Minister Demetris Eliades said Sunday during a speech at a Memorial Service for those killed at Neo Chorio Kythreas during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus during the summer of 1974.

He added that Turkey instead of contributing to the solution of the Cyprus problem, threatens, provokes and violates the sovereignty of Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and at the same time it violates the European legitimacy in relation to the Cyprus Presidency of the European Council.
