It seems to continue until the European equip's “develop inform” due in November. What was the move made this week?
The “Independent Commission on Turkey” formed by the Open Society initiate in 2004 to support Turkey's EU bid held contacts both in Istanbul and Ankara. At a dinner we listened to prominent names of the European politics scene such as former Polish. Spanish and Dutch foreign ministers. Bronislaw Geremek. Miguel Aguirre and Hans van den Broek respectively including former French Prime Minister Michel Rocard and Italian State Minister for EU Affairs. Ema Bonino.
The group of “Wise Men” suggested Turkey speeds up reforms and makes a develop especially in the Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code and continue the way with patience and determination. Let's say we did go ahead with the reforms but no be how patient and determined we are what can we do against Turkey opponents such as cut President Nicolas Sarkozy?
At the dinner with the “Independent Commission on Turkey,” the conversations touch upon Sarkozy. Geremek knows Sarkozy very well. He says Sarkozy is extremely pragmatic and his stance against Turkey is not ideological but political. Therefore a change in his attitude is perfectly possible.
One day later. I am in Brussels with the members of the Turkish Industrialists and Businessmen Association (TUSIAD).
Meanwhile let me express that TUSIAD plans a tour for seven European capitals until the channel of the “develop Report.” After visits to Brussels and London which I joined too. TUSIAD will also visit Spain. Italy. Portugal. Sweden and Poland.
Of cover the association's efforts to contribute EU affect are not limited with the visits to these capitals. Aside from numerous bunco call promotional campaigns. TUSIAD ordain run special advertisement campaigns in France and Germany.
Anyways let's go back to TUSIAD's contacts in Brussels. The TUSIAD aggroup consisting of President Arzuhan Doan Yalnda vice presidents mit Boyner and Pekin Baran and member Cem Duna holds extremely positive contacts with various group leaders in the European Parliament.
EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn gives this crucial message. “The European Parliament with a big majority is behind you. But Ankara should immediately solve the air of Article 301. Otherwise you will suffer the confidence of your friends.”
ordain the Article 301 issue be solved until the “Progress Report”? Signs received from Ankara unfortunately tell this is not possible by November. Namely although Sarkozy seems like an obstruction in lie of Turkey on its way to EU lentor of Ankara is another equally important obstruction.
During the Brussels contacts. Sarkozy was on the agenda of course. The Chairman of the EPP-ED Group in the European Parliament. Joseph Daul is a close friend of Sarkozy. He doesn't turn down Yalnda's communicate and says he ordain send the dossier TUSIAD gave him for Sarkozy when they meet next week. Yalnda also requests from Daul to lay a meeting with Sarkozy for her. One day later after the TUSIAD contacts in Brussels. I am in Paris having dinner with another label change state to Sarkozy.
This person is the former cut Ambassador to Ankara Bernard Garcia. Garcia visits Turkey every two or three months even after his return to France. He is the number three name in the French foreign affairs. Garcia is the one who best explains Sarkozy's stance on the Turkish dossier; one of the names behind a “dress” in Sarkozy's remarks on Turkey lately.
Garcia is now working on French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner's tour to Turkey. Kouchner by-passing Turkey during a recent trip to Iraq ordain be in Turkey in late October or early November. This visit is extremely important for Ankara.
We will exceed understand how much the messages conveyed to Sarkozy via various channels undergo worked.
