News; Turkey's EU aspirationsPublished: Wednesday 13 January, 2010
Member of the European parliament GHD hair
straightener 's committee on Turkey GHD straightener , Richard Howitt, says Europe is increasingly impatient with Ankara over it commitment to membership reforms. "We haven't in the last one two three years seen a continued momentum for the reform process," he said. "And, again, Turkey must not underestimate that it must not fail to read the signals. It has got to respond and start moving things in the right direction again or one day the train crash that has been warned about may and will happen." The train crash Howitt is referring too is a suspension of membership talks. Experts warn if that were to happen it would probably mark the end of Turkey's EU aspirations.Analysts say the new state-run Kurdish channel will be broadcast in Brussels. But, they point out, unless it is part of more wide-ranging reforms including allowing Kurdish to be taught in schools and universities, the new channel may end up having only symbolic value, both in Turkey and Europe. |
