Turkish president asks to a chance to his country

"Give us chance to bring Turkey's standards into conformity with the EU," Gul added.

The EU-Turkey relations and cooperation began with signing of the treaty in Ankara in 1964. Despite EU-Turkey relations were cool after signing the treaty, but the contract maintained its status. Today's reapproachment of Turkey and the EU is appreciated as a historic chance.

Following discussion on Norway's EU membership, citizens of this country opposed joining this organization. As a result, despite the fact that Norway complies with European standards, it refused from EU membership.

Turkey may refuse from EU membership in future, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said at a news conference held before his visit to France.
