lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the report that Mr Eurlings has written is an informative one, and prompts two questions to the Council and Commission, concerning the phenomenon of the so-called ‘deep state’ ( ) and the complete lack of freedom of religion in the Republic of Turkey. Anti-European forces in Turkey are teaming up in intransparent state structures, nationalistic circles in the army, police, gendarmerie and security services. To what extent do those forces, summed up under the heading of ‘deep state’, hamper the present accession negotiations? There are persistent speculations to the effect that this self-same ominous ‘deep state’ is linked to the killing of the Italian priest Andrea Santoro in Trabzon in February of this year, and that brings me to the altogether humiliating position of the Christian Church in Turkey, the clergy and lay members of which are considered to be foreigners. In fact, contact between churches and government is made via the Foreign Affairs Ministry. I should like the Council and Commission to take action on this score. Or does the fear of Islamic mobilisation in Turkey make you reluctant to insist on full freedom of religion in the land of Atatürk?"@en1
