"The situation of women in Turkey is still far from acceptable. Apart from some strong disparities in terms of education and work, the main worry is still the ‘moral question’, or the status of women in Turkish society. Especially in the countryside, there are still numerous cases of ‘honour killings’, as well as so-called ‘honour suicides’, which are perhaps even more tragic. These acts, often dictated by religious issues, are completely removed from the reality of Europe. The issue of the situation of women is just one of the many problematic aspects relating to Turkey, which is why we cannot understand how there can continue to be talk of possible accession to the European Union. I hope that the Turkish Government makes every effort so that women reach a true level of equality, but this must not be linked to any fanciful ambition of accession to the European Union, to which I am still very strongly opposed."@en1
