DENMARK DOUBTS PROSPECTS OF TURKISH ACCESSION TO EU

Danish Premier Anders Fogh Rasmussen doubts prospects of Turkey’s accession to the EU. At the latest congress of the Liberal Party of Denmark, headed by him, the PM stated it was not necessary for Turkey to be an EU member equally as the EU countries. He spoke in favor of EU partners to hold discussion over EU enlargement. «If the EU is too large, it will collapse,» he said. Heads of EU countries and governments have determined October 3 as the day for start of talks over Turkey’s accession to the EU.
