European
members of parliament voted on a draft resolution condemning Ankara as tensions
between Turkey and the European Union continued, Al-Arabiya TV reported.
The vote
was made by an absolute majority, Al-Arabiya correspondent said.
The
decision calls to urgently impose sanctions against Turkey in response to its
actions in Cyprus and its territorial waters, as well as its actions
elsewhere in the eastern Mediterranean
and its disagreements with Greece, Germany and France.
European leaders
also called for maintaining a unified position against what it called Turkey's “unilateral and illegal actions,”
while considering imposing sanctions against specific Turkish parties.
