lpv:translated text	"Yesterday we heard Mr Verheugen and today the Council’s representative acknowledging, even in small measure, some of the problems related to respect for human rights in Turkey concerning which, indeed, they expressed their sorrow. Yet, both yesterday and today they underlined the supposed progress made by the Turkish regime in that area. And we heard the representative of the Council telling us the same thing today. The truth, however, is that contrary to what some people are claiming even in Greece, the Helsinki decisions on Turkey have emboldened the Turkish regime. It is no mere chance that on the next day Turkey’s leaders declared that Turkey has become a candidate for accession without attached conditions. It is not by chance that, while they have not complied with any of their commitments, they protest that they have not been given the appropriations provided for under customs union. They also told us that Turkey intends to take steps. But we have been hearing that in the Council of Europe for very many years, perhaps more than ten, without anything happening. If anything, things are worse. The campaigner for democracy and human rights who was shot was sent to prison again instead of his attackers being punished. My question, then, is: specifically when does the Turkish regime intend to progress with democratising that country’s constitution and criminal code, to set free the leaders of HADEP and the Members of Parliament as well as all the political prisoners? Will the Kurdish issue ever be resolved, will all the political parties be allowed freedom of formation and operation and finally, will Turkey ever withdraw its troops from Cyprus?"@en1
