lpv:translated text	"Madam President, both the Commission's latest interim report and the opinions of the different committees of this Parliament demonstrate that Turkey has made important steps in the direction of the Copenhagen criteria. That country has made enormous progress over the past years. By way of example, I would mention the abolition of the death penalty and the change in attitude towards the Kurdish minority. This is all happening under a Turkish Government of which it was feared at the time that it would turn Turkey into an Islamic state. Fortunately, reality is different. Without hesitation, the Turkish Government calls for good governance, more transparency and equality between men and women. The experiment which the AKP Party is conducting is unique and of worldwide significance. As the European Union should not leave these signals without a response, it should offer a concrete prospect of joining as soon as possible; otherwise, we would soon run the risk of having to face the threat of an Islamic-fundamentalist state, no longer open to dialogue, by the back door."@en1
