"Commissioner Rehn, in my headphones, you were translated as saying that the journey is just as important as the destination. I have to say that I completely disagree with that. Only that part of the journey that leads towards a democratic Turkey can be supported. In contrast, we must speak out against any part of the journey that leads in the wrong direction. Words must also be accompanied by action. I would like to know how long the Commission will accept part of the EU’s accession support to Turkey being used to reward the political allies of the governing party while ethnic and religious minorities are discriminated against, as a recent investigation has shown. The EU should do something about it! I was at the DTP’s headquarters on 29 December when the police came to arrest Ahmet Türk – but where was the Commission and where was the Council? Will the Commission and the Council undertake to attend legal proceedings and stand up for human rights? Finally, a question concerning the mayor of Diyarbakir, Mr Baydemir, who the Turkish authorities have prevented from coming to this Parliament: is a protest going to be lodged with Turkey about this?"@en1
