lpv:translated text	". Demanding that our economic and political partners respect human rights is an excellent sentiment, but the European institutions need to start by putting their own house in order, particularly given that Turkey is their next-door neighbour. The discrimination suffered by the Christian minority, the suppression of information on the Armenian genocide, the occupation by the Turkish army of a third of the island of Cyprus – none of these flagrant violations of the law have prevented European leaders, notably Messrs Chirac and Villepin in France, from opening Europe's doors to this Asiatic country. Is the prospect of accession encouraging the Turkish authorities to share the values of our civilisation? We doubt it. The rise to power of the Islamist party, the AKP, in 2002 is threatening, in particular, the few rights previously granted to women. Two facts illustrate this phenomenon: the violence used to suppress a peaceful demonstration by women last year, and the return of polygamy. At a time when, even in our countries, Islamist organisations are challenging the freedom of the press, the European Union, in welcoming Turkey, would be reneging on the values on which it claims to base its foreign policy."@en1
