lpv:spoken text	". I will be voting in favour of opening negotiations with Turkey for membership of the European Union. Turkey does not as yet meet the criteria for membership. Its record on human rights with respect to its Kurdish and Assyrian minorities is deeply flawed. Its record with respect to trade union rights is poor. It has failed properly to come to terms with the Armenian genocide. Yet none of these should be seen as barriers to starting a process that will enable the Commission and Parliament to press for their correction. A 'yes' vote today will support the campaigns of all progressive forces in Turkey to shed the last remnants of Turkey's authoritarian past. If together we can achieve these changes I will support Turkey joining the Union, as my Europe is based on shared values that are not limited to one particular set of religious values and beliefs. If we do not achieve this, I will vote 'no', even if the economic conditions have been met."@en1
