"Madam President, as far as I am concerned, enlargement of the European Union is not at all in order and certainly not at this time, when a major crisis is storming through Member States and the European Union is faltering. Putting to one side the question of whether Turkey should be part of the European Union at all for geographic reasons, we ought to remember that we would be dragging in a Muslim country with a population of 80 million, which means that it will be able to assert great power inside the European Union. In addition, Turkey meets virtually none of the conditions required for it to be regarded as a serious democracy. I assume that we cannot welcome such a country with enthusiasm, can we?"@en1
