lpv:translated text	"Protection of, and respect for, minorities is one of the best signs with which to assess the quality of democracy. Respect for national minorities should be a cornerstone of EU foreign policy when fostering democracy in the world and especially when dealing with states like Turkey that want to join the EU. Turkey should never join the EU unless it carefully respects minority rights. There are about 14 million Kurds in Turkey. The movement for more cultural rights and political autonomy for Kurdistan is currently being brutally repressed by the Turkish Government. Ankara misuses the Penal Code to criminalise peaceful Kurdish journalists, politicians, activists and demonstrators. Dozens of Kurdish MPs are in jail. This is simply unacceptable. The PKK must certainly stop using violence just as much as the Turkish State. The Kurdish conflict will only be addressed politically and, therefore, both sides need to negotiate. In this negotiation, it is unavoidable that the Kurds, sooner or later, will have to be recognised in the constitution. The report does not recognise the rights of the Kurdish minority nor the political nature of the conflict. As a democrat, I had to vote against it."@en1
