Doesn't Turkey want to enter EU?
Turkey may quit the idea of entering the European Union, Turkey's President Abdullah Gul announced in France when answering a Le Figaro reporter whether Turkey is implementing reforms to meet EU standards.
"Turkey is likely to follow Norway's example and give up the idea of EU membership," said the Turkish president.
Remind that though Norway met EU standards it refused membership after the country's population voted against the decision.
Turkey's President confirmed that a historians' commission will be set up to study the 1915 events in the Ottaman Turkey.
"The commission may involve historians from other countries as well. We are ready to admit the facts presented by the commission," announced Abdullah Gul adding that not only Armenians but also Turks suffered from the disputed events.
