lpv:translated text	". Madam President, in the next couple of days, ceremonies will be held in various places around the world to commemorate the Turkish genocide against the Armenian people, which claimed the lives of more than one million people. Between 1915 and 1918, the Turkish army evacuated almost all Armenian villages within the Ottoman Empire. This involved the immediate execution of hundreds of thousands of citizens, while others died later, under horrendous circumstances, during hunger marches to Syria. This was the first genocide of the twentieth century. To this day, however, Turkey refuses to acknowledge this genocide. This is quite a serious blemish on a candidate Member State. It illustrates the way in which today’s Turkish Government views human rights. I would remind you of the resolution adopted by our own Parliament in 1987, which clearly stipulates that Turkey has no claim to EU membership as long as it does not recognise the Armenian genocide. I would insist that this same resolution, which is still valid, be brought to the attention of the Commission and the Council."@en1
