Five of Cyprus’ six members of the European Parliament abstained from the final vote on the parliament’s annual report on Turkey on Wednesday, with independent Fidias Panayiotou voting to reject the report.
Disy’s Loukas Fourlas and Michalis Hadjipantela, Akel’s Giorgos Georgiou, Elam’s Geadis Geadi, and Dikos Costas Mavrides all recorded abstentions, but the report was passed notwithstanding the Cypriots’ votes, with 381 MEPs voting in its favour, 107 including Panayiotou
