Report of a speech 'Turkey - looking to the future' by Mehmet Simsek, Turkey’s Economy Minister to the European Policy Centre, Brussels, 7 November 2007. Turkey warned France against trying to bury its aspirations to European Union membership by manipulating a 'Wise Men’s Committee' that is expected to pronounce on Europe’s long-term future. He also reaffirmed his government’s promise to remove an obstacle to Turkish entry by changing a much-criticised article of the penal code that makes it a crime to insult Turkish national identity. |
