  • BAKU: Govt Failed to Read Carefully the EU Comm. Report on Turkey

    Star, Turkey
    Nov. 1, 2004

    CHP DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: `THE GOVT FAILED TO READ CAREFULLY THE EU
    COMMISSION REPORT ON TURKEY'

    Onur Oymen, deputy chairman of the main opposition Republican People's
    Party (CHP) as well as Turkey's ambassador to NATO, over the weekend
    charged that the government had signed the EU Commission's recent
    report on Turkey without reading it carefully enough. `Joining the EU
    without the report being corrected would be a mistake,' he said.
    `Open-ended negotiations cannot be accepted. Moreover, the report
    recommends permanently restricting Turkish workers' right to free
    movement. The commission's recommendation is full of traps. The right
    to free movement is one of the Union's basic principles, so this
    condition is unacceptable. Besides, the EU Commission also recommended
    that Turkey re-open trade with Armenia. In signing the report, the
    government neglected these important points.' /Star/
