President of the European parliament Martin Schulz visited Turkish
parliament where he talked about Turkey's membership to the European
Union.
`It is not a secret that the membership process will be complicated
and will demand long time and efforts. Turkey has to make a number of
changes,' he said.
According to Turkish Taraf, Schulz referred to the process of creation
of new Constitution of Turkey, noting, that the ethnic minorities must
by all means be engaged in the process.
`The center of each democratic process is the parliament - the center
of representatives elected by people. Equal opportunities should be
created for ethnic and religious minorities,' he said, adding that the
EU will follow the trial of well-known Kurdish figure Leyla Zana.
Referring to the Cyprus issue, Schulz advised Turkey to be realistic.
He strictly criticized the statements of the Turkish side to suspend
negotiations with the EU after Cyprus assumes the EU's Presidency.
