"Madam President, Turkey’s treatment of the Kurdish people, not just within their own borders but also against those bravely fighting IS in Iraq and Syria, is a scandal. All will have been pleased when the armed conflict between Turkey and the PKK was brought to a mostly peaceful conclusion, yet now we are witnessing the Turkish authorities rekindle that fight. What is worse is that, not content with President Erdoğan’s attack on a free press and journalists, his wrath is now being directed towards the Kurdish people. Damningly, evidence mounts highlighting collusion between Turkish authorities and Islamic State in the region, including support for oppressive actions towards Kurds. This is a timely reminder of the fundamental differences between Turkish and European values and is further proof that Turkey must never be allowed to join the European Union."@en1
