(2000/C 203 E/230) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2777/99 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (18 January 2000) Subject: Protection of archaeological treasures at Salamina in Turkish-occupied Cyprus Archaeologists from Ankara University have been reported as carrying out illegal excavations in the necropolis of ancient Salamina in the Turkish-occupied sector of Cyprus, an important archaeological site on the island and one of the most significant in the Mediterranean. The excavations are being carried out despite the fact that Turkey has been a signatory to the Hague Convention since 1965, Article 5 of which expressly prohibits any archaeological work in areas occupied by foreign forces without the consent of the legitimate government of the country. Will the Commission intervene to bring a halt to any excavation of archaeological sites and, if so, in what manner?
