"On behalf of the European Parliamentary Labour Party, I welcome Mr Morillon's report. We believe that Turkey should be treated the same way as any other applicant country. While it is clear that Turkey does not yet meet the Copenhagen criteria, we should be working closely with them to achieve that objective – just as we have done with all the other applicants. We cannot consistently seek new obstacles to put in their path. We opposed the amendments on the Armenian massacre for exactly this reason. That event took place during the time of the Ottoman Empire. I do not recall events which took place during the British Empire being used to obstruct the United Kingdom's accession. Consistency and honesty should be the hallmarks of our dealings with any applicant country."@en1
