lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to draw the Council’s attention to the fact that the brutal action taken on the part of the Turkish police against demonstrators a few days ago has resulted in quite justified protests across Europe and even – or should I say at long last – in it being asked somewhat more overtly whether a country such as Turkey could be a Member or candidate country of the European Union at all. This is, in itself, somewhat odd, of course, because we have known for some time that Turkey takes a rather casual approach to human rights and has for many years pursued a real policy of genocide against ethnic minorities and non-Islamic faith communities. I think that the incidents of a few days ago do indeed give the Council good cause to revisit the whole Turkey issue. There are sufficient fundamental reasons for doing so."@en1
