"Mr President, last week the Turkish press reported that the Turkish Ministry of Home Affairs was conducting an enquiry into the role of the Mayor of Diyarbakir who, according to allegations by the Turkish Government, supported the protesters during the episodes which took place in this town a short while ago.
At the same time, the Turkish authorities have prevented 41 Kurdish visitors from leaving Istanbul because their Iraqi passports contain both Arabic and Kurdish script.
How can we negotiate with a country in which there are no fundamental democratic institutions and which also snubs us as an institution, given that the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Gul, has refused to appear before next week's Committee on Foreign Affairs?
Let us take decisions which will ensure that there are no surprises in store in a few years' time. We may not be here, but we need to be careful as to what we leave behind for those who come after us."@en1
