lpv:translated text	"Mr President, one of Europe's leading journalists wrote a few days ago that we are opening the gates to barbarity. Obviously he is right. He describes events in Turkey and the violence against intellectuals, journalists and so on. Just the other day, during the visit of the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, Turkey stopped the Greek MEP, Mr Varvitsiotis, from entering and held him hostage for three hours, refusing to recognise the passport which you have given us. Today, however, I shall speak of a different type of violence; the violence against Archbishop Okhrid, the Archbishop of FYROM. He has been imprisoned, his cassock has been taken away, his Bible has been taken away and he is prohibited from taking communion. We did not witness such barbarity even in the darkest Middle Ages. I therefore call on the European Parliament to send a mission to inspect the conditions under which the Archbishop is being held. FYROM, or whatever else it wants to call itself, cannot ask to enter here, in the European family, while its Archbishop is in prison. This has never happened before. I should therefore like, if we really want to talk about justice and human rights, for us to show that we respect human rights, for us to send a mission to examine this barbarity on the part of the country which is just a short way away from Brussels."@en1
