lpv:translated text	". This compromise resolution deals with the Turkey–Cyprus issue satisfactorily and reasonably clearly. I should have liked to see clearer statements regarding democracy und human rights in Turkey. According to Amnesty International, torture in Turkey continues to assume proportions similarly serious to before; it just takes a different form. The case of Mehmet Tarhan was a recent example of how conscientious objectors are punished with years of imprisonment. There are renewed conflicts in the Kurdish regions, police and military forces are omnipresent, and state and non-state actors commit human-rights violations. Freedom of the press is continually violated: for example, anyone publishing material that takes a critical line on the genocide of Armenians or the continuing Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus still faces imprisonment. As far as the EU Heads of State or Government are concerned, a key motivation for this accession is geopolitics. A Commission working document drawn up to render Turkey’s accession to the EU plausible states: ‘Turkey is a strategically important country (...) Turkey’s accession would help to secure better energy supply routes for the EU.’ It continues: ‘With its large military expenditure and manpower, Turkey has the capacity to contribute significantly to EU security and defence’. I, too, wish to see Turkey’s accession to the EU; just not like this. The EU Heads of State or Government and the European Commission evidently care little about the real-life situation of the people."@en1
