Official Journal 187 E , 03/07/2001 P. 0192 - 0192
WRITTEN QUESTION E-0127/01 by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (PPE-DE) to the Commission (1 February 2001) Subject: Illegal arrest of Greek Cypriot by Turkish-Cypriot regime Approximately one month ago, the Turkish occupation forces abducted and arrested the Cypriot citizen, Panikkos Tsiakourmas, from the territory of the sovereign British bases in Cyprus with a view to exchanging him for the Turkish-Cypriot drug-trafficker arrested a few days previously on the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, in whose possession a substantial quantity of drugs had been found. Given that the Turkish occupation forces are using blackmailing tactics to equate a person charged under public criminal law with an innocent citizen suspected of no wrongdoing, will the Commission act within its powers to secure the release of this innocent Greek Cypriot who is being held illegally by the Turkish-Cypriot regime? Answer given by Mr Verheugen on behalf of the Commission (22 March 2001) The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to Written Question P-0045/01 by Mr Zacharakis(1).
