Euriopean Union Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn has arrived in Ankara to continue talks over prospects of Turkey's accession to the EU. After a meeting with FM Abdullah Gul, Olli Rehn stated that Turkey needs to continue democratic reforms as never before. This first of all refers to human rights, national minorities and religious freedom. Swedish PM Goran Persson expressed concern over negative attitude of Europeans towards Turkey's accession to the EU. Turkey has a long way ahead and opinions of European peoples may change in the course of time, he stated after a meeting with Czech PM Jiri Paroubek. «Half of the population in the Czech Republic, as well as in Sweden, has a positive stand on Turkey's accession to the EU,» Jiri Paroubek stated. He also warned one should refrain from hasty processes in this regard. Over 90% of neighboring Austria's population are against Turkey's accession to the EU, he noted, reported Mediamax.
