lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, if the Turkey issue were purely an economic one, I seem to understand that there would probably not be a problem. However, there are indeed serious problems, because the Turkey issue is clearly not just an economic one. In particular, we would like to highlight the issue of religious tolerance, which unfortunately does not exist in Turkey, not only because we could mention the murders of some priests, including Italian ones such as Monsignor Luigi Padovese and Don Andrea Santoro, but also because the Turkish delegates at a recent Council of Europe meeting sadly voted against a motion condemning attacks on Christians around the world. We find that astounding and wonder how we can accept a country that does not consider religious freedom to be a fundamental value. We also wonder how Mr Erdoğan’s deputy, Mr Babacan, could possibly have said that the European Union is a ‘Christian club’. What was he expecting to find? Apart from that, does he not think that the problem perhaps is not the ‘European Christian club’ but the lack of religious rights inside Turkey?"@en1
