lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am opposed to Parliament’s decision to begin negotiations on Turkey’s accession, because Turkey is not Europe! In addition, we are running the risk of one day seeing a flag flying over these institutions – the Turkish flag – which is still stained with the blood of the Armenian people, whose holocaust is not recognised by Turkey. We have betrayed the spirit of Lepanto, a thousand-year tradition of a Europe that is and wants to remain attached to its Christian roots. Turkish society, moreover, is still closely tied to the principles of Islamic fundamentalism, and that is a grave danger of which Europe should be more aware. We are therefore proud to have voted against starting the procedures for Turkey to join Europe, and we consider that those European politicians who irresponsibly supported that decision should be ashamed of themselves, because the decision goes against the wishes of the majority of the people. We call for a referendum to be held in all the countries of the European Union so that the people can have their say, because the peoples of Europe are against Turkey’s accession."@en1
