European Parliament
Martin, David (PSE ).
Mr President, I voted in favour of the report on Turkey and I believe we did good work today. We have given encouragement to those inside Turkey and indeed to those outside Turkey who have campaigned and worked hard for a secular Turkish state, a Turkish state based on democracy and a Turkish state that respects human rights.
We have also sent a strong message to the 15 million Muslims who already live inside the European Union that this is not an exclusive Christian club. So all in all I am very pleased with the work we have carried out this morning.
