JTW News - Turkey not to Release National Program in Response to EU Document

"Turkey not to Release National Program in Response to EU Document
Turkey will not release a new “National Program” (NP), so as not to reveal its position to the European Union (EU), following the release of the European Union Accession Partnership Document, or the APD.

Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul warned the Union about Cyprus: “As long as the Cyprus issue persists there will be ups and downs. There will even come a moment where situations may overshadow the strategic cooperation envisaged by the EU. As longs as this problem remains everything else may be eclipsed” Turkey which began accession talks on October 3, is differentiating from its former approach by not releasing a new NP, which specifies its commitments and a timetable in which to f
ulfill them, in response to the APD. "
