3. Welcoming of the President of the Session
Welcome Welcome Welcome!
You are absolutely lucky to be here in EYP my beloved participant. Being a delegate at the any event of the
European Youth Parliament is the great pleasure, joy and at this same times the great responsibility as well.
EYP not only makes people happy, active and motivated, but also gives us the wide arena of opportunities,
in order to gain professional skills, find strengths and weaknesses in ourselves, and also EYP indicates indi-
rectly how to improve ourselves indeed.
Here we are at the 4th National Selection Conference, where challenges will challenge you, where your vi-
sions will be altered and where you will conclude that living as active person is more or less the sense of our
life. The motto of the session is You in Action and that’s you who should prove and adjust it actually.
I am very proud and honored to preside the session, I will do as much as possible with my brilliant chair’s
team, and significantly with you - beloved delegates to achieve the maximum and make this event truly unfor-

tence of different cultures?
The proposal on banning minaret construction was championed by
rightwing and ultra-conservative groups. The government and most political
parties as well as churches and the business community came out strongly
against it. Members of the People's Party and the Federal Democratic Union
collected enough signatures to force a nationwide vote.
The statement said freedom of belief would not be affected. "Muslims in
Switzerland are able to practice their religion alone or in community with
others, and live according to their beliefs just as before.
The Islamic religion is intolerant, but we do not want to limit freedom
of religion, we want to outlaw the political symbol," said Ulrich Schlüer, a
member of the rightwing Swiss People's party and one of the leading pro-
moters of the anti-minaret initiative.
The controversial proposal to ban minarets was brought up by the right
wing Swiss People’s party, which says minarets are symbols of rising Mus-
lim political and religious power that could eventually turn Switzerland into
an Islamic nation.
We do not forbid Islam -- we forbid the political symbol of Islamization,
and this is the minaret,” Schluer (right wing politician) said. “The minaret
has nothing to do with religion; the minaret is a symbol of political victory
[of Islam]. The first thing the Turks did when they conquered Constinople --
