"Mr President, last week, in Diyarbakir in Turkey, four people lost their lives and approximately 500 more were injured when incidents broke out at the end of a funeral. All the victims were Kurds, while the perpetrators were the special forces of the Turkish police.
A fortnight ago, the Turkish army started an operation to suppress the Kurdish workers' movement, during which another 14 people were killed. Turkey is obviously demonstrating with these actions that it intends to resolve this problem not through democratic process but through violence, with the survival of the fittest. We are therefore aiding and abetting the extermination of a people, while at the same time bringing Turkey into the European family.
Such a policy is paradoxical and we should remind Turkey, as a candidate country, of what European democratic tradition means."@en1
