Turkey joins EU regardless they want it or not: Bagis
15:40 / 01/23/2010Turkish State Minister and Chief Negotiator for EU
talks Egemen Bagis assumes that Turkey already joined EU, Ebmhaber
website reports.
`Every time I visit Turkey, they ask me: `When will Turkey become EU
member?’ and I reply: `Regardless they want it or not we have already
joined EU. A lot has changed in Turkey and presently it is one of 16
countries in the world with largest economy,’ Bagis outlined.
`Turkey was always a bridge between the Western Christian and Eastern
Muslim Worlds. Currently, numerous changes are initiated in Turkey.
The country tries to solve Greek, Armenian, Kurdish and Aleutian
issues. Nothing can prevent Turkey from its EU membership. Ignore
those saying that the talks on Turkey’s membership slowed down,’ Bagis
noted.
