<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Via aid organisations, there have been reports about worrying developments concerning the situation of Christian evangelists and their families who are active in Turkmenistan. Religious freedom and human rights are being violated in President Berdymukhamedov's country. In 2001, the Russian evangelists Vyacheslav Kalataevsky and Yevgeni Potolov were illegally deported to Kazakhstan because of their religious convictions. Though they have never been deprived of their Turkmen citizenship, it is impossible to be active in Turkmenistan. They have returned and have had to resume their activities ‘underground’. For their families, the situation has become intolerable. In March 2007, MrKalataevski was arrested again and was sentenced to three years in a prison camp in Sejdi, 1200km away from their families. MrPotolov was arrested in May 2007; subsequently, in July, he was expelled from Turkmenistan. He is currently living in Russia. Small Christian communities and their leaders are being victimised by the Turkmen Government, making their lives very difficult. They are regarded as ‘apostate’ by the state religion, accused of illegal activities and termed ‘subversives’.    I would put the following questions to the Commission:      1.  What steps is the Commission considering taking to combat this most alarming violation of religious freedom in Turkmenistan, specifically in view of the recent arrests of the evangelists referred to?      2.  What stage has been reached in the dialogue and relations between the European Union and Turkmenistan?"
