    CHIEF NEGOTIATOR BAGIS SPEAKS TO SPANISH EL PAIS

    Turkey

    MADRID (A.A) - 15.05.2009 - Turkish State Minister & Chief Negotiator
    for EU talks Egemen Bagis said on Friday that German Chancellor
    Angela Merkel and French President Nicholas Sarkozy used Turkey's EU
    membership for their domestic policies.

    In an exclusive interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais, Bagis said he
    examined all the laws in effect and all the documents between Turkey
    and the EU but could not see a "privileged partnership" expression
    in the documents.

    Bagis said all the Muslim world was closely following process of
    Turkey's EU membership. "Turkey is eager to be a center for peace,"
    he added.

    Commenting on dialogue process between Turkey and Armenia, Bagis said,
    "a stable cooperation is needed between Azerbaijan and Armenia to
    maintain the dialogue. Turkey proposed a stability pact for the
    Caucasus. We believe that solving the problems on negotiation table
    is the best solution. Turkey wants to be a center in energy flow from
    the Caspian Sea to Europe."

    Bagis also said Turkey did not have a Kurdish problem, but a terrorism
    problem.
