(Daily Sabah) President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan highlighted Turkey’s commitment to EU accession, as he said the country has been taking necessary steps to become a full member.
“Turkey’s efforts in issues like democracy, human rights, rule of law and confidence in the economy and stability aims to enhance the rights, freedoms and prosperity of its own citizens,” Erdoğan told reporters following a cabinet meeting in the capital Ankara, as he noted that Turkey would be more pleased if the country could carry out the process with the European Union.
Erdoğan continued by saying that Turkey’s only request from the bloc is to ensure that the country goes through the same processes and implementations that other member states went through during their accession process.
