/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey's Chief EU Negotiator Egemen Bagis said
Saturday that Turkey would not settle for anything less than full
EU membership.
Bagis told Greek Newspaper Kathimerini that despite objections of
certain circles, Turkey was determined to take the necessary steps
and complete negotiations. "We will not accept anything less than
full membership. Full membership, or nothing," said Bagis.
"I think it is time for Greek politicians to realize Turkey's
dynamic. Would they like to see a neighbor that is a full member of
the EU or a country in stress, which is likely to spread its problems
to the region?" asked Bagis.
