Turkey questions future of EU
By EUobserver
Turkey's deputy prime minister, Numan Kurtulmus, shot back on Monday at comments made by Germany's vice chancellor, Sigmar Gabriel, on Turkey's dim chances of the country one day joining the EU. Gabriel had said it would take up to 20 years for Turkey to join the EU. Kurtulmus, for his part, said the existence of the EU in 20 years is in doubt, reports the Turkish Daily Sabah .
