Turkish PM denies 'weariness' in drive to join EU
"Turkish PM denies 'weariness' in drive to join EU

10/01/2008

Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed Turkey's determination to join the European Union on Thursday and denied there had been a slowdown in reforms.

The EU and many Turkish commentators say Erdogan's centre-right government has lost its appetite for carrying out reforms required by the wealthy 27-nation bloc.

'There can be no question of weariness on the EU issue. We are doing whatever has to be done (to join),' Erdogan said in a televised address outlining a new government action plan.

'We are winning (in the EU process). About 70 percent of Turkish exports generally go to EU member states. This situation enriches our relations. So we will continue our EU efforts.'"
