Despite Everything Turkey Intends to Continue EU Integration Process
Turkey will continue the EU integration process, despite European Union's decision to partially freeze the talks with Ankara, stated Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gül. In his words, EU's decision to freeze the talks with Ankara contradicts the spirit of Turkey-European Union relations.
"We have not refused from the goal to enter the EU and are full of determination to move forward through this way. We are aware of our shortcomings and do all necessary things to remove them," underlined Gül. On his opinion, the EU experiences crises and some of its members have 'confusion in the head'.
"The Cyprus issue, which is a stumbling block in Turkey-EU relations, must be solved in UNO and not in the European Union. The universal solution of the Cyprus issue is possible to ensure only in UNO," underscored the Turkish Foreign Minister, RIA Novosti reports.
