Turkish State Minister and Chief Negotiator for European Union talks
Egemen Bagis said on Saturday, May 7, that the Union would perceive
Turkey's potential eventually.
`They will chase after Turkey and try to persuade us to join.
Therefore, we should never feel pessimistic in our EU process which
constitutes the most important part of our own civilization journey
and democratization process,' he said.
Bagis said EU reforms contributed to Turkey's remarkable progress in
fields such as education, transportation, justice and security
recently.
"Therefore, we will not stop, we will proceed on our way," he said.
"We are implementing EU reforms not for the union, but to raise the
living standards of our citizens."
Commenting on the upcoming general elections, Bagis said Turkey will
`prepare a new constitution that would be embraced by all segments of
the society after the elections, and by this way, the obstacles on
Turkey's EU path would be eliminated,' the Anatolian Agency reported.
