"Everybody should understand that Turkey’s EU bid is a one-way process
which is carried on through negotiations. There is no turning back in
this process," Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu said. As noted by the Turkish
diplomat, a candidate country’s membership process had never stopped
unless such country refused membership itself in EU’s history. "If a
country kept displaying political will, there had never been other
alternatives than full membership", Davutoglu added, calling on EU
to be committed to its promises and not to use Turkish-EU relations
for political discussions within itself.

Chief Negotiator for EU Talks Egemen BagıÅ~_ noted in his turn that
Turkey had the necessary political, and everybody in Turkey would
agree that the country had become more modern and democratic.
