eu parliament resolution on turkeyA European Parliament resolution on Turkey's progress towards joining the EU asks Turkey "to begin withdrawing its forces from Cyprus." 

Moreover, “it regrets Turkey’s statements that it will freeze relations with the Presidency of the European Union in the second half of 2012 if a solution to the Cyprus issue is not found by then” and “recalls that the European Union is based on the principles of sincere cooperation and mutual solidarity amongst all its Member States and that as a candidate country Turkey must commit to serene relations with the European Union and all its Member States; further recalls that the Presidency of the Council of the European Union is provided for in the Treaty on European Union”.

The resolution states that EU-Turkey relations need fresh impetus, but it could only be possible if Turkey makes more progress on reform. It expresses concerns about the limited media freedom in Turkey and the many court cases against journalists.
