"I voted for this resolution because Turkey is one of the European Union’s most important economic and geostrategic partners. With an economy enjoying a spectacular growth rate which has trebled in the last decade, Turkey is one of the most typical emerging powers. In fact, it is playing an increasingly important role in maintaining the balance of stability in the Middle East and in supplying the EU with energy. The EU, for its part, is Turkey’s main economic partner, providing 80% of the foreign investment in this country. Unfortunately, the economic growth has not also been reflected in the per capita GDP or in the progress in tackling poverty, especially among women. I believe that the efforts made to increase the number of girls attending school must be followed by progress in terms of the integration of women at work and their representation at decision-making level. However, tackling violence against women is the main area where more concrete measures need to be taken to eradicate so-called crimes of honour and forced marriages, and to increase the measures providing protection and shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic violence."@en1
