"Madam President, it is difficult to understand Turkey’s foreign policy strategy, bearing in mind how they initially stood by, preventing Kobane’s inhabitants from either escaping or protecting themselves, before grudgingly allowing Kurdish intervention. Turkey’s latest rationale seems to indicate that by attacking Islamic State they may somehow make the West more tolerant of their own disgraceful behaviour towards the Kurds. Furthermore, there is the question of Turkey’s aspirations in Syria, where they have now given logistical and intelligence support to Jaish al-Fatah, the very command structure for Syrian jihadist groups. One must consider whether they now support a Sunni overthrow of a Shia government.
Considering all this, can we truly put our hands on our hearts and say that Turkey genuinely upholds Western values? I, for one, believe that the time has come formally to curb Turkish aspirations for eventual EU membership."@en1
