lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Turkey certainly abuses human rights when it prosecutes academics for expressing opinions, such as describing the 1915 killing of Armenians as genocide. Of course Turkey is not alone. France proposes an exact mirror image of that law. People will be prosecuted for saying that it was not genocide. France and many other Member States prosecute and jail people for heretical opinions, so perhaps Turkey might fit in after all. I am not an enthusiast for the European Union, but for as long as it exists, I prefer it to be more European rather than less European. Turkey is not European by its geography, ancestry, religion or culture. Whilst not being an EU enthusiast, I really find it extraordinary that a country that is still occupying nearly 40% of Cyprus should even be considered for membership."@en1
