lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr Vice-President. For many years Turkey has been our neighbour, ally and partner. For many years it has also been a candidate with a successful market economy waiting for the date to begin negotiations. In that respect it is very different from Ukraine. Turkey is like a long, heavy train that moves with difficulty but since its move to democracy many years ago, the train has begun to move more quickly and more safely. We are allowing the Turkish European train to enter a tunnel. Not even the Orient Express has room to manoeuvre in there. Trains do not slalom. They cannot turn round in tunnels. Turkey must move forward to democracy and into Europe and there is no other possibility. I support the enlargement of the European Union and the europeanisation of Turkey. No other mechanism of the European Union will bring more stability, more vision and more development to the East than the announcement of the date for Turkey. Turkey would readily recognise Cyprus if the whole of Cyprus was in the European Union. When the whole of Cyprus is in the European Union, there will no longer be any Turkish troops there. This is the way to achieve strategic changes and strategic goals. This is why I support Europe and why I give my support to Turkey. Thank you very much."@en1
