lpv:translated text	". There are at least two good reasons in principle, if not more, for the French delegation from the Union for Europe of the Nations Group to vote against this report. The first reason concerns the perspective on which it is based: the planned accession of Turkey to the European Union. Turkey is heir to a great civilisation. However, as it is culturally different from a Judaeo-Christian and humanist Europe, geographically situated (95%) in Asia Minor and does not belong to the Indo-European family, I do not think there is any reason for Turkey to join the Union. Yes to cooperation with the EU, no to membership! The second reason is the European Union’s obligation to respect the national sovereignty of third countries. It is perfectly clear that this extreme report constitutes blatant interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign State. By what right, however, and based on what moral standards can the European Union judge and at times condemn Turkey? Who are we to stigmatise, for example, the disproportionate role of the army, which ‘slows down Turkey’s development towards a democratic and pluralist system’? This report, which is contemptuous towards the Turkish people, is very bad for Europe as a whole."@en1
