lpv:translated text	". I would have preferred a different wording for paragraph 9. Paragraph 9 – which deals with Turkey and the Kurdish question – is, in my view, far too weakly formulated. For decades, the Turkish State has persecuted the Kurdish people and denied them their self-evident entitlement, as a minority, to political, social and cultural rights, as well as the right to their own language, their own schools and their own culture. The death sentence upon Öçalan is one more proof that Turkey still does not comply with the EU’s requirements of a candidate country. It is also important to emphasise that the KLA must cease engaging in violence and terrorism in order to support a peaceful and political solution to the Kurdish question. Turkey may not be regarded as a sound candidate for accession to the EU for as long as basic human and humanitarian rights are not respected. I therefore refrained from voting in the final vote."@en1
