lpv:translated text	"I support opening accession negotiations with Turkey and if Turkey fulfils the accession criteria, I support Turkey’s accession. I know that Turkey is far from this goal, but I sincerely hope that it will be able to meet the criteria, as it is in everyone’s best interest. I support Turkey’s accession on meeting the criteria even though I know that it would have significant consequences for Europe’s future. We are accustomed to a Europe consisting of a community of values based on a common cultural heritage, a common past and common traditions. The Europe that includes Turkey will be a different Europe. That Europe will be a community of political goals based on common interest. But I believe that we need this. Turkey’s accession is of paramount importance if Europe really wants to act on the stage of world politics and if it wants to rid itself of the role of a spectator. Turkey’s membership is also indispensable if we want to influence Middle Eastern, central Asian or Caucasian processes. And if we do not exert influence on these regions, then these regions will exert a very negative and dangerous influence on us. Turkey has an important value for all of us: its accession is of great interest and therefore I support opening the accession negotiations."@en1
