"Mr President, the Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was murdered recently by extreme nationalists in Istanbul. The constant threats against his life forced the writer Orhan Pamouk to leave Turkey and take refuge in the United States of America. The unchecked activities of extremists and the worrying increase in nationalism are not just an internal problem for Turkey; they are a matter for every European democrat. It is a question of solidarity with the democratic movement in Turkey which is fighting under difficult conditions for an area of freedom of expression and dignity. Rhetorical declarations of sympathy are no longer enough. Collective initiatives and action are needed on the part of the European Union and, in particular, on the part of the European Parliament. Initiatives must be taken immediately towards the Turkish Government by you, Mr President, and by all the political groups. I therefore propose that plenary should adopt a motion for a resolution as a first specific step in the condemnation of the nationalism and terrorism threatening the weak democratic fabric in Turkish society."@en1
