lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Turkey is not Europe. Its sensibilities, uses, customs and dominant religions are too different; its forms of interpersonal and gender relations are too different; its geopolitical interests conflict, as they are too closely linked to those of the United States, which – I must point out – conflict with ours. Cyprus, first of all: we should be ashamed even to begin such talks when a Member State and an old ally is still not recognised and is partly under military occupation by Turkey. Then there is the Armenian genocide, the Kurdish issue, civil liberties, social tensions – I could go on with a long list of undeniable contrasts that count against Turkey joining the European Union. The system by which political weight in the European Parliament and the Commission is proportional to population will give Turkey a dominant role in European Union decision-making. We resisted Turkey’s annexation of Europe – for that is what we are dealing with – at Lepanto and then at Vienna. The vast majority of Europeans do not want Turkey in Europe: that is the people’s mandate, and we have a duty to respect it by voting ‘no’."@en1
