"Madam President, on 18 October, a trial will begin in the Turkish city of Diyarbakir of 28 leaders of the Democratic Turkey Party (DTP). They include 14 representatives elected by the public: 12 mayors and two municipal councillors. Their crime is peacefully defending their political positions, which could cost them between 15 years and life in prison. The banning of the DTP and the arrests that I have mentioned are one more example of the persecution being suffered by the Kurdish minority in Turkey. These events were expressly condemned in the resolution that we adopted on 10 February analysing the progress made by Turkey in 2009 in moving closer to the Union, but we do not think that sufficient progress has been made. If we are consistent and we wish to help the victims and help Turkey to move forward in the right way, we can do so. During this period, let us support the movement of solidarity with the Kurdish cause. I would therefore like to urge the Commission and Parliament to send an official representative to the trial in Diyarbakir."@en1
