"Mr President, I should like to apprise plenary of a very serious matter.
As we speak, the Turkish authorities are in the final stage of constructing a dam. This dam, which is scheduled for completion on 15 November, in other words in fewer than 50 days from today, will result in the flooding and definitive loss of one of the most important archaeological sites in Asia Minor today.
I refer to Allianoi, a Roman spa centre which lies 18 kilometres from the town of Bergama.
The archaeological site of Allianoi consists of an entire complex of spas which, it would appear, complemented the famous Bergama Asklepion.
I believe that the European Parliament should take a stand on the question of this loss and, given that the Commission's reply was unsatisfactory, I propose that the President of Parliament write to the Turkish president calling for a halt to work to complete the dam, which will result in the definitive loss of a piece of European cultural heritage."@en1
