Member quotes July 18th

Josep Lluís Ortega Matas: Israel's response to the unjustifiable act of Hezbollah is totally out of proportion, brings indiscriminate harm to the innocent population of Palestine and Lebanon, and violates International law, planting new hatred in a fertile ground and thus greatly diminishing the prospects of achieving peace in the foreseeable future.

Bengt Beier: I think we should advocate the creation of an European Army that is reasonably smaller than the combined forces of the member states but has the best equipment and people we can get on this continent.

Akin Unver:
1. PKK should lay down its arms.
2. Turkish government should engage in massive development programs in the region which will create jobs, increase the living standards of the people in the southeast.
3. Kurds should be allowed to use their own language officially and Kurdish should be the second official language in predominantly Kurdish areas.
