lpv:translated text	"Despite its serious shortcomings, the Morillon report is clearly an improvement on the Commission proposal as far as the partnership between the European Union and Turkey is concerned. There is a positive reference to the Loïzidou case and the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. Similarly, there is a positive, albeit inadequate reference to the Armenian question, in that Turkey should have been clearly called on to acknowledge the genocide – the amendments have, of course, done much to correct this. Similarly, there is a positive reference to the Kurdish question and minorities – which the Commission draft accession partnership passes over in silence. However, the main drawback and shortcoming of the Morillon report is on the issue of Greek-Turkish relations. The European Parliament should make it clear to the Turkish Government that, if it wants to join the European Union, it must stop contesting the borders of Member States of the European Union and must refer any disputes to the International Court to be resolved. This is also in the interests of the Turkish people who would like to live in peace with their neighbours. Our vote in favour of the resolution should be interpreted as support for the fact that it represents an improvement on the Commission proposal and not as full agreement with it."@en1
