ERDOGAN: "THOUGH THE EU REPORT HAS NEGATIVE ASPECTS, I’M FOCUSING ON THE POSITIV |
16 October 2004Appearing on Greek television yesterday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that though there were negative aspects to last week's historic European Union's progress report, he was trying to instead focus on its positive side. "We'll evaluate the negative aspects with EU leaders in the leadup to December's EU summit and try to reach common ground," he said. Asked about the possibility of Greek Cyprus trying to block Ankara's accession talks, Erdogan stressed that Greek Cypriot leader Tassos Papadopoulos had promised him that he would support Turkey's EU bid. "He assured me that we wouldn't face obstructionism," said the premier. In related news, Erdogan yesterday attended the ground-breaking of a new wing at Ankara's Esenboga Airport expected to be completed within two years.
