"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in relation to Turkey we have heard talk of human rights, religious freedom, the Kurds, Cyprus, the Pope’s masses, the Armenians and so forth. They may all be highly interesting and important, but in my view only one thing should guide us in our decisions: the will of the people.
The citizens of Europe, the electors whom we represent, do not want Turkey in Europe. I therefore call on my fellow Members to respect the will of the people and not to consider ourselves superior to those who elected us, because if we are here it is because someone voted for us, and that someone does not want Turkey in Europe. Let us be consistent."@en1
