FM in Washington, sends warning to Turkey

"FM in Washington, sends warning to Turkey

Washington (ANA-MPA/T. Ellis) -- Greece's foreign minister Dora Bakoyannis, currently on a visit to Washington, is due to meet on Wednesday with her US counterpart Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Speaking in the US Congress on Tuesday, Bakoyannis warned Turkey that it's attitude was not helping its European orientation, stressing that although Greece wanted relations of friendship and cooperation with Turkey based on respect of international law and the rules of good neighbourhood and supported Turkey's EU prospects, Turkey nevertheless must prove intentions to comply with the EU's institutional, political and economic acquis and fulfill its criteria and obligations for membership like all the other candidate countries."
