Turkey Walks Out

From Europe News:


Turkey Walks Out

GalliaWatch 28 February 2012
From Yves Daoudal we learn that Turkey is in a snit, fortunately for Europe: According to Die Welt, the Turkish government announced to European authorities that it would suspend all official relations with the EU during the rotating presidency of Cyprus (during the second semester).
It had already warned that it would not negotiate its candidacy with a country it does not recognize.
The admissions process will therefore remain a dead issue this year. Last year, for the first time since the start of the process, in 2005, no new chapter of negotiations was opened.
At Le Salon Beige this was welcome news. One commenter expressed what everybody was thinking:
- In this case, couldn't we grant a permanent honorary presidency to Cyprus?
