Cameron will "Fight" for Turkey's EU Bid

Written by FrumForum News on Tuesday July 27, 2010

The BBC reports that UK PM David Cameron will strongly advocate for Turkey to join the EU:

David Cameron is to argue strongly for Turkey's membership of the European Union, saying he is "angry" at the slow pace of negotiations.

On his first visit to Turkey as prime minister, Mr Cameron will say he will "fight" for Turkey's bid to join the EU and to become a "great European power".

He is expected to compare hostility in some parts of the EU to this to the way in which UK entry was once regarded.

After concluding his visit to Turkey, Mr Cameron will travel on to India.

He will be joined by a host of British business leaders as he seeks to boost trade links with one of the world's fastest growing economies.

Mr Cameron - who arrived in Ankara on Monday - is expected to agree a new strategic partnership with Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan during his visit.
