On the issue of enlargement, he underlined his preference for a close partnership with Turkey, but remains opposed to its membership. He said “we should develop ties but should not go as far as far as full and total accession”. Sarkozy urged Europe to define its boundaries and its absorption capacity
at moment noone wants Turkey into EU.
Not a EU, not a people of Turkey.
EU wants more Reforms and positive sgns from Turkey and Turkey wants more european Money and indepence from European politics.
(turkish goverment see his future on a side of EU but not inner EU. something like Norway and EU Partnership..)
I think that a Future is a "privileged partnership" between Turkey and EU.
not more.
