But as Turkish President Abdullah Gul pursues his trip to Germany, he and Chancellor Merkel are still in disagreement over Ankara's EU ambitions.




She favours 'privileged partnership' status. But six years after Turkey started negotiations, Gul wants nothing less than full membership of the bloc.

  • @amareto35 As to your "cultural concern" about homosexuality , teenagers having sex and "free drugs"; I'm guessing your a Turk and this is exactly why we don't want you in the EU, the lack of respect for individual freedom when it comes to sex, religion, culture and similar issues shows that you are not ready to join the club of more advanced nations, just look at how you are treating the Kurds FFS!!!

  • Hell NO!

  • haha, fuck off Turks

  • Tell Gul to go fuck himself. Turkey a EU memeber? NEVER FUCKING EVER!

  • @AtheistSweden you speak as though Europe has an excellent past. There are also many people opposing homosexuality in Europe. Turkey is becoming more and more free and democratic day by day. It is true that previous Turkish governments wanted to assimilate Kurds but know things are changing thanks God. And nowadays Turkey is struggling with terrorists who are fed by many Europian countries.
