lpv:translated text	". There are questions that will not go away; nor will the historic wounds that remain open in the Armenian community throughout the world. In its resolution in June 1987, the European Parliament asked Turkey to have the courage to look at its past with open eyes in order to be able to look towards the future. Democracy is guaranteed by historical truth, which cannot be bought or sold and cannot suffer at the hands of special interests, be they financial or economic. What is at issue today is not recognition of the Armenian genocide's reality, as this House has already had occasion to declare that in 1987. In asking that the Lamassoure Report should make reference to the genocide, I was not seeking to revive ancestral hatreds or to blow on the embers of intolerance, but to echo the legitimate concerns expressed in Armenian communities. The children of Armenia who were exiled to our countries at the beginning of the century expect today an act of justice. They want a ‘moral resting-place’ for their ancestors. Remembrance is an even more pressing duty at this time when the last witnesses to the exile, the last to escape the carnage, are themselves quietly dying away. I am convinced that joining the EU implies adherence to the fundamental principles in accordance with which it was created; democracy, respect for human rights and for the rights of minorities. Such a step invites each one of the candidate countries to take up the burden of its past in order to be able to make its peace with its own history. I regret that this House has not followed me in doing this."@en1
