lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, there are already approximately 200 000 Kurds living in the United Kingdom. The Kurds in the United Kingdom are concentrated in our large cities where, even at the present time, there is profound pressure on public services, especially health and education. According to the Home Affairs Select Committee of the British House of Commons, should Turkey become a member of the European Union, up to 4.4 million Turkish citizens, of all ethnic groups, would emigrate to Britain, where they would then have the right to benefits and the NHS. I do not blame the Kurds for wanting to leave. Ankara has a decades-long policy of denying them elementary linguistic and other cultural rights. However, the solution is not mass immigration to the UK and other EU Member States. The solution is that Turkey start to treat its minorities with decency and respect. We should make it crystal clear that Turkey, an Asian country, cannot join the EU."@en1
