lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I very much appreciate the references in Mr Brok’s report to the need to respect fundamental rights and freedoms, notably the rights of minorities in Turkey, Croatia and the western Balkan countries. When debating the Turkish application to join the Union, I urged the Commission not to repeat the mistakes that were made in the case of the accession of my country, Latvia, in not using this process to promote the rights of minorities. The European Free Alliance Group has called upon the European institutions to urge the Turkish Government to improve its policy on ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities. Unfortunately, we do not see any progress here and, in particular, innocent citizens are still being killed in Kurdistan. Two weeks ago the parents of Derwich Ferho, the prominent human rights defender and President of the Kurdish Institute based in Brussels, were killed. Indications suggest that Turkish special forces were involved. I am for further enlargement, but I am for enlargement based strictly on the Copenhagen criteria."@en1
