lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Turkey is one of the NATO countries and is applying to join the European Union. It has signed all kinds of international Treaties, including those protecting human rights, banishing torture, etc. Nevertheless, Turkey continues to bomb the Kurds who live outside its borders, in northern Iraq. Commissioner, I think we should be quite plain about this. Matters will never improve without a clear, political and peaceful solution to the Kurdish problem, and Turkey should realise this. I believe that stabilisation – and we at least hope that peace in the Middle East is inching nearer day by day – will only happen if a solution is found to the Kurdish problem. We naturally want to express our sympathy to the families hit by bombings, most recently in August, and we demand the greatest respect for international borders. If this respect is not forthcoming, it will be a continual source of misery. War will never lead to peace."@en1
