Schulz rejects Turkish boycott of Greek Cypriot presidency

29 May 2012 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL

European Parliament President Martin Schulz has criticized Turkey for its decision to suspend dialogue with the EU presidency during the upcoming Greek Cypriot presidency, saying a candidate country cannot tell the 27-nation bloc that it won’t negotiate for accession during a certain member’s term at the helm of the union.
“I take note that a candidate state says to us we will not negotiate during the presidency of a member state of the European Union,” Schulz said at a press conference in Ankara after talks with Turkish officials on Monday evening. “But I criticize this. This is not possible and I have to take note of that as well.”

Bağış rejects ‘reform fatigue’
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/euro-s ... sCatID=338


ANKARA - Hürriyet Daily News
EU Minister Egemen Bağış yesterday rejected criticism from European Parliament Speaker Martin Schulz that Ankara has been hit by “reform fatigue,” arguing that the European Union itself is worn down. “There is no fatigue in Turkey concerning reforms. Turkey has not stopped working despite the fact that new chapters are not being opened in the membership negotiations,” Bağış said, speaking at a seminar on preventing fraud in EU-funded projects. In an interview with Germany’s Der Tagesspiegel newspaper this week, Schulz had said that Ankara was suffering from “reform fatigue,” while the EU was hit by “enlargement fatigue.” Bağış said that the country was seeking to make contributions to Europe under the motto “Hang on, Europe! Turkey will come to help you.”

Do the "Turks" themselves realise which direction their country is being steered to?

All this rubbish I read from the average Turk online, which is completely mal-alligned with the reality that they do not want to join the EU. Turkey does want to join the EU or she is cheating the EU of harmonisation funds, taking what she can, while she can.

A country full of hypocrisy and contradictions across every policy and fabrication of society, have created a population where the vast majority have a borderline condition, with an alien reality to the rest of the world.

Whether Turkey does or does not want to join the EU is of no importance as far as I am concerned. I know she has no chance of qualify this century at least. The rest of it is just to save that precious 'double face' for her own inadequency.

Allow me to correct you. The TCs do not represent Cyprus.

They are voiceless in Cyprus and voiceless in Turkey.
