Von der Leyen: no progress in Turkey's EU bid
By EUobserver
European Commission president-elect Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday told reporters in Brussels that Turkey has not made any progress towards possible future membership of the European Union. "As regards Turkey, I have not seen this progress in the last years. On the contrary...Turkey needs to show that it wants to be closer to European values, to European rules, the rule of law, liberty and fundamental values," she said.
