    GERMAN POLITICIAN: TURKEY CANNOT BECOME EU MEMBER


    27.07.2005 04:05

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey should formally recognize the sovereignty of
    Cyprus as a condition to EU membership talks, whose outcome should be
    `privileged partnership', said Wolfgang Schäuble, Vice President of
    Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in an interview with a
    Polish daily. The CDU-CSU coalition is expected to make significant
    gains in the German elections scheduled for September 18. According
    to Schäuble, `the EU should not extend beyond the boundary that we
    call the European continent. Otherwise, people will stop identifying
    with it. And if so, Turkey, the vast part of which lies outside
    Europe, cannot belong to the Union.'
