London doesn't support attempts to prevent Turkey's EU membership
The UK doesn't support Germany and France in their attempt to prevent Turkey from EU membership. "My opinion is the official position of Great Britain, which sees Turkey a member of the European Union," said Alan Waddams, European Commission representative in Azerbaijan.
"I am hopeful Turkey will be accessed to the Union soon," he said adding that he doesn't think that protraction of talks can be caused by religious issues, Trend reports.
Addressing a UMP conference, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have reaffirmed their opposition to full membership of Turkey in the European Union.
France and Germany understand that Turkey's membership will press three informal EU leaders - France, Germany and UK. With its vast territory, population of many millions, tremendous economic and geopolitical significance will comprise the leading 'four' of Europe, experts say.
