Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayip Erdogan has great expectations
from Germany on the matter of EU accession.
Hinting that Turkey's accession will make the EU a global player,
Erdogan demanded German Chancellor Angela Merkel take the initiative
to make the EU a global actor in the future through adopting visionary
policies, Hurriyet Daily News writes.
He stressed Germany should support Turkey's joining the EU stronger
than any other state.
"This should be a Germany that cooperates with Turkey on Turkey's
international matters ranging from the Cyprus problem to the 1915
incidents [Armenian genocide claims], and from EU negotiations to
the fight against terror," he said speaking at the event dedicated
to the 50th anniversary of the arrival of Turkish workers in Germany.
He also touched upon the Kurdish problem, slamming Europeans for
ignoring the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party's (PKK) activities in
their territories, calling on German officials to cooperate more in
the anti-terror fight and help Turkey join the European Union.
