In a telephone interview with Reuters on July 30 2008, European Union commissioner for enlargement Olli Rehn called on the Turkish government to step up with social and economic reforms to meet EU standards and atone for time wasted resulting from political instability over the past two years.
Rehn's appeal came after Turkey's constitutional court decided, on July 30, not to disband the ruling Justice and Development (AK) party, as requested by the country's chief prosecutor in March on accusations of being a focal point of anti-secular activities."
