Mr President, I am speaking as the author of the book entitled 'Women Today', a book which has become a bestseller in my country, and I address my honourable female friends. If they love the women of Turkey and feel real solidarity with women, they should not vote for the report.
What are the real circumstances? They are described in an article which was published a few months ago: a 14-year-old girl was raped by her uncle, she told her family, a family council was held and they killed the girl. The murderers are free. That is the reality. That is the situation.
We cannot write reports from Brussels. We can write reports if we go to Diyarbakir and see how women live. In mediaeval circumstances. Prejudice is rampant against women. The education system in Turkey cultivates it. The patriarchal structure of the family orders the raping and beating of women.
If we want, at last, to show respect for women anywhere in the world, we cannot vote for this report. Mr Erdogan, the prime minister of Turkey, has put women in Turkey back ten years. From where they had a woman prime minister, today the prime minister's wife goes round in a veil. That is the retrogression of women in Turkey."@en1
