EP REPORT: "ANKARA'S NEGOTIATIONS MAY COME TO A HALT"
Press Review
Turkish Press
Aug 5 2006
A new report prepared by European Parliament Turkey Rapporteur Camiel
Eurlings harshly criticizes Turkey, claiming that it isn't ready for
the European Union membership. A warning that Ankara's negotiations
could slow down or even stop if Turkey doesn't open its ports and
harbors to Greek Cyprus is the most important part of the report. The
report also states that improvements in freedom of expression have not
been satisfactory, and it adds that neighborly diplomatic relations
should be opened with Armenia without any preconditions.
Meanwhile, EU-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Commission Co-Chair Joost
Lagendijk criticized the report's language and that the EU should
fulfill its commitments to the Turkish Cypriots.
