"Mr President, I voted for this report because I think that it provides a fair analysis of the situation of women in Turkey, as well as a fair analysis of the efforts being made by the European Union to implement a gender model that is specific to Europe, but not to Turkey. I believe that this is also why our failure in very many cases to resolve issues and achieve things is due to the structure of Turkey’s model.
What is more important, as I see it, is for us to combat violence against women in Turkey. I welcome the measures implemented by the Turkish Government at an institutional level. However, I think that sustained efforts need to be made at the moment so that these measures can somehow be put into practice. It is unacceptable for us to continue to tolerate these ‘honour’ suicides and ‘honour’ crimes which, in my view, are a heinous act in the 21st century. However, there are issues which could be levelled at our Member States, too. It is difficult to introduce gender tolerance in a country like Turkey."@en1
