ArmInfo. The EU should impose tough sanctions against Turkey because of its position on the Cyprus problem and actions in the Mediterranean.
A resolution with such an appeal was adopted by the European Parliament by a majority vote. At the plenary session, 631 deputies supported the document, only three voted against, 59 abstained. The parliamentarians called on the European Council to maintain a unified position on the illegal actions of Turkey and stressed that a long-term settlement of the conflict would be possible as a result of negotiations. It is noted that the dialogue undermines Turkey's decision to "open" the former resort area of Famagusta Varosha in the occupied part of Cyprus.
Brussels also criticized Turkey's actions in Libya, Syria and direct support for Azerbaijan in the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict, reports Rosbalt.
Recall that Ankara not only openly supported the military aggression of Azerbaijan against Artsakh, unleashed on September 27, but took an active part in the hostilities. Moreover, Turkey recruited and airlifted mercenaries from the Middle East to the conflict zone, which was also stated by the leaders of several powers.
