lpv:spoken text	"Actually, we all need to be completely honest with Turkey, and I have said this a number of times. Let us be honest: Turkey will never join the EU. I am sorry, but there are too many reasons why Turkey will not join: some of them are based on pure prejudice about their faith and about Turks; some on the fact that people believe Turkey is not in Europe; and some on the fact that people want a common foreign security policy and do not want borders with Iran, Syria and Iraq. Others worry – given the population of Turkey – about the number of MEPs they would have and about voting strength in the Council. Put all those reasons together, and we have got to stop being dishonest with Turkey. It is time for all of us to be honest and say that they will never be members of the EU."@en1
