lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Turkey is now standing at a crossroads. It can choose the past, it can choose oppression and barbarity, or it can choose the future, freedom and humanitarianism. Akin Birdal has now been imprisoned for such a statement, in spite of his ill-health. We are faced with a country which apparently fears its own citizens so much that it is willing to violate the most basic human rights and place the unity of the state above the freedom and rights of the individual. We must say to the Turkish Government that the policy which the country is conducting belongs to the past. This type of behaviour does not belong to the future, where we hope that human rights will be foremost. Such a country will never achieve the unity which it desires. My advice to Turkey must be: choose the future and free Akin Birdal and his colleagues."@en1
