"Mr President, in the past, this House has spoken out quite frequently and in no uncertain terms against the death penalty, be it in relation to Mr Öçalan or other individuals. The death penalty should be abolished, and that goes for Turkey too! This House has expressed its support for more human rights, for respect for the rights of minority groups, for improved relations between Turkey and Greece and for a resolution of the Cyprus question. None of that is on the agenda today. There is a predominant and overwhelming majority in this House. Two specific reports are on the agenda today concerning the promises and pledges we have made to Turkey and, in particular, concerning the fact that those who incline towards the West, those of European outlook in Turkey, are gaining in strength. I am therefore in favour of these reports being dealt with. However, this has no bearing on the heavy criticism we will continue to levy at Turkey and its human rights record!"@en1
