Abdullah Gul Eu Quotations

we have stuck to our side of the bargain, the EU should stick to theirs.

I trust the EU will overcome the skepticism which now exists within the Union (towards Turkey), ... We expect that those concerns of ours will be handled to mutual satisfaction.

A partnership between the EU and Turkey would not be established if the EU did not keep its promises, if leaders of the EU member states forgot they had signed several documents or neglected their signatures due to some reasons, and if they brought forward new conditions which could never be accepted by Turkey,

The EU can make a contribution to the economy.

The genuine step Turkey expects is direct trade together with financial aid. This unilateral decision by the EU will bring new problems and difficulties.
