lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I, too, wish to talk about last Friday’s decision of the Turkish Constitutional Court to ban the Democratic Society Party (DTP), which has resulted in no less than 22 members of the Turkish Parliament being either expelled from the parliament or deprived of their political rights for five years. Unfortunately, these parliamentarians include Leyla Zana, to whom we awarded the Sakharov Prize in 1995. It is already the fourth time that a Kurdish party has been banned; time and again, Kurds endeavour to stand up for the rights of their people under a different name and time and again they are suppressed for allegedly propounding ideas counter to the unity of the Turkish State. Yet the essence of democracy includes freedom of association and freedom of opinion, and so this divests of all credibility the so-called ‘democratic opening’ initiative launched by Prime Minister Erdoğan earlier this year with regard to the Kurdish question. I should very much like to support Mrs Ludford’s call for a debate on this in January."@en1
