lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, paragraph 12 of the motion for a resolution says that freedom of expression – even if it offends – is at the heart of democracy. I agree absolutely. Physical attacks on peaceful demonstrators should certainly bring Turkey’s application to the EU to a complete halt. We could also mention the attempted prosecution of Mr Orhan Pamuk for a heretical view of Turkish history – but of course, France attempted to enact an almost exact mirror image or converse of that law under which Mr Pamuk was prosecuted. Many other EU countries prosecute and imprison people for heretical, historical or political opinion. The Belgian Government of Mr Verhofstadt actually banned a political party – Vlaams Blok – and Germany tried to ban a party with fabricated evidence. Turkey certainly deserves censure, but EU Member States must put their own houses in order first."@en1
