lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we must consider the statement that enlargement will be a factor of stability very carefully. Let us think back to what Prime Minister Erdogan said a few days ago. He said that he could not get along with Mr Netanyahu but felt much more comfortable with Mr Bashir who, if I am not mistaken, is the Sudanese President under investigation because he is accused of crimes against humanity. On the subject of neighbours, if Turkey joined Europe, we would have Iran, Iraq and Syria as our neighbours. This does not seem to me to be an ideal neighbourhood. It would be much better to have Turkey joined to Europe by a bond of privileged partnership. A somewhat worrying trend of de-westernising Turkey has reached a highly advanced stage under our very eyes. We need only think of measures affecting communal social living, such as separate swimming pools for men and women, restrictions on freedom of opposition, actually extending to the imposition of a EUR 3 million fine for opposition broadcasts, and so on. I think we must still consider one fact: there may be a majority in favour in this Parliament, but the majority of Turkish people are against Turkey’s entry. We are insisting on extending our borders to Turkey when the Turks themselves do not want it. The President of the Italian Republic has said that pacts must be respected. I agree, but we must consider that Turks are Turks."@en1
