lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President, the name is the European Union. Mr Erdogan, do you perhaps have a map? That is how easy it is to answer the question of whether Turkey should be accepted into the EU. Turkey is not a European country, and as such Turkey cannot be a member of the European Union. The Heads of State or Government of the EU have promised Turkey that it can, on certain conditions, become an EU member, but those Heads of State or Government do not have the backing of their peoples in so doing. Two thirds of European citizens do not want Turkey to become a member, and the Heads of State or Government will ultimately be compelled to defer to their wishes if they wish to maintain the trust of their electorates. Mr Eurling’s report is an excellent illustration of how the citizens of the EU base their opinions on facts and not feelings. I would like to recommend voting in favour of the report, regardless of the fact that some of the wordings in it can be construed as meaning that we regard Turkey’s accession as an objective, albeit one still far from being realised. The government of Turkey has demonstrated again and again that it does not recognise European values, whilst at the same time demanding that we should respect unacceptable Turkish and Islamic values. We saw this in the case of the famous Danish cartoons of Mohammed in the newspaper and also in the Turkish outcry against Pope Benedict’s speech in Regensburg. Turkey illegally occupies Northern Cyprus and believes that it can force the EU to accept this situation. Turkey wishes to stifle Europe’s freedom, our freedom of speech, and membership would mean the formation of a parallel society opposed to European culture. It is time to speak the truth."@en1
