"Mr President, I abstained from the vote on the Bozkurt report because I believe that, while it contains a number of positive elements, it also contains negative ones.
It is important that we, as the European Parliament, stand up for the rights of women, both in Europe and beyond, and thus also in an Asian and Islamic country such as Turkey, where so-called ‘honour killings’ take place and where forced marriages are commonplace. It is good that this report makes reference to this, albeit somewhat reluctantly.
Why, in fact, are we not speaking clearly about the increasing Islamification of society in Turkey? We are talking about a deep cultural groundswell that cannot just be tackled or counteracted through legislative initiatives. It is clear that a country like that does not belong in the European Union, and it is therefore rather outrageous and odd that the report argues for the so-called ‘European perspective for Turkey’."@en1
