"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to thank Mr Eurlings for a skilfully produced report. Leyla Zana, winner of the Sakharov Prize in 1995, told us in October to include Turkey in the negotiations or else the Kurds would not survive. This is a serious argument for talks, but it only means that Turkey will now be included within the observation category. The start date for negotiations must still be left open, with no deadline. Turkey needs to fulfil all the requirements of European democracy, including the rights of women. It is important that the negotiations can be broken off at any time if there is insufficient progress. For Turkey there are therefore three potential exits: the beginning, the end and right in the middle of everything. We will not be ready for enlargement for a long time, but we can begin negotiations now. Turkey is not Europe, but democracy and human rights are, and that is why these concepts should be spread, at least within our neighbouring countries."@en1
