The European commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, today urged Ankara to 'go the extra mile' - including the recognition of Cyprus - to convince sceptics Turkey is ready to become a candidate for EU membership.
'The challenge for Turkey is to win the hearts and minds of those European citizens who are open to, but not yet fully convinced of, Turkey's European destiny,' Mr Barroso told a press conference."
