The demand by the Muslim country of Turkey for the withdrawal of British National Party leaflets objecting to that nation’s inclusion into the European Union is proof that the BNP’s position on the matter is correct, Nick Griffin has said.
In his reaction to the news that the Turkish embassy in London has formally complained to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office over the BNP European election material, Mr Griffin said the reaction “showed that the Turkish government had a fundamentally flawed understanding of what democracy was, and that democracy included the right to free speech.
“We would never dream of trying to dictate to Turkey what it should allow and what it should not, even when it for example officially criminalises anyone promoting the 1915 Armenian genocide,” Mr Griffin said, referring to the near extermination of Armenia by the Ottoman Turkish Empire during World War One. That atrocity is officially denied by the present Turkish government, despite worldwide disapproval.
“The point is that Turkey has a very poor track record of democracy and free speech, and its demand for the suppression of a perfectly legitimate political party’s election material in another country shows exactly how dangerous it would be to expand the EU to include this 99 percent Muslim nation,” Mr Griffin said.
The leaflets to which the Turkish embassy objected were not in fact, as it wrongly claimed, distributed only in Scotland. The 29 million leaflets have been distributed nationwide, and were legally vetted by the Post Office before that body undertook their distribution, as is the norm, Mr Griffin added.
“There is therefore no chance that the leaflets contain anything contrary to the law, so the Turkish embassy is crying for the moon.
“The real lesson to be learned from all of this is just how perilous the European Union is, and why adding another 80 million Muslims to that organisation will be the first step towards creating Eurabia. This will mean the extinction of Europe itself under a tidal wave of ‘freedom of movement’ EU nationals.
“The past record shows exactly to which country these ‘free movement EU nationals’ always aim,” he said.
In addition to the main election address, another leaflet to which the Turkish embassy has objected states that taxpayers’ money “shouldn’t be wasted on expanding Europe so that millions of Muslims in Turkey can join the invasion of foreign job snatchers.”
It also urges voters to “oppose the dangerous drive backed by the other main parties to give 80m low-wage Muslim Turks the right to swamp Britain.”
Orhan Tung, a spokesman for the Turkish embassy, was quoted in the media as saying that his government believes “that the relevant British authorities such as the Equality and Human Rights Commission should consider taking legal action against the party in question.”
