[01] BLAIR TURKEY
British Prime Minister Tony Blair expressed hope that the European
Council will progress satisfactorily and Turkeys EU accession course
will gain the momentum all have been working for.
To a question on Tuesday if he is willing to go to Brussels this week
and sign off on the idea that negotiations with Turkey should be
suspended in eight key areas, Blair said he supports Turkeys accession
to the EU and are working very hard with the Turkish government to
achieve this.
He noted that there is an issue to deal with, the Ankara Protocol and
so on, but I emphasize that even on the basis of the General Affairs
Council decision 27 chapters will be taken forward. And some of those
who wanted to see a hold of this process have not been successful in
doing that.
