The Association

Our asociation, called "Support Committee for the Return Home of Beryl", has been created to support Pascale in her struggle and the mothers who are in an identical situation, whom she has wished to associate with her procedures.
The juridical agreements are the very foundation of diplomatic negociations when such problems arise. Now, the problem of child abduction to Turkey is ignored by the Ministries in charge, French as well as Turkish. That must not be allowed any more.

The petitions made by the association will be sent to the European Parliament. The Support Committee is empowered to collect the necessary funds for the continuation of its action. It wants to support Pascale by financing her trips, by helping her pay for the juridical expenses, without omitting the different actions she takes in the political field in France and in Turkey.

At the moment, Pascale Liamrola is getting in closer to the European asociations in order to make an inventory of the mothers who are faced with the abduction of their children, now in Turkey. She has asked to be seen by the Commission of the Presidency of the European Parliament.The work done by this Parliament about the international abduction of children clearly defines its stand.
The Official Bulletin of the 9^th of March 1993 of the European Parliament says:

The European Parliament,
Severely condamns the abduction of children.
Carefully notes that the rate of child abduction within the community will increase with the disappearance of the international frontiers owing to the making of the Single Market.
Points out that in spite of the open nature of both agreements (The Hague and Luxembourg), they have not been signed by a sufficient number of non-member countries; that's why they think that the relations, even distant ones, between the Member and Non-member stats are affected.

• The Non-Member states should be encouraged to sign the Luxembourg agreement of the 20^th of May 1980, The Hague agreemnt of the 20^th of October 1980, and the United Nations agreement about children's rights.
• The Member states should ask for bilateral agreements with the Non-member states.

Turkey showed their goodwill by ratifying on the 4^th of April 1995 the United Nations Agreement about Children's Rigths. We ask for this taken of goodwill to be followed by facts.

Turkey is already a member of the European Coucil. They wish, sooner or later, to join the European Community. We would like them to discharge their commitments towards all the member states, and specifically by signing the Hague and Luxembourg agreements.
