Jack Straw today said it would be a 'huge betrayal' if Turkey was refused membership of the European Union.

The foreign secretary said it would be the EU's loss if foreign ministers voted against Turkey joining the EU when they met next Monday.

And despite heckling from within the conference hall, he reaffirmed Britain's commitment to ensuring democracy flourishes in Iraq.
