/PanARMENIAN.Net/ European Union would make a mistake by rejecting Turkey as a member, the Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
'What we are saying is regardless of whether you accept Turkey or not, we are already in the EU. There are five million Turks in EU countries already. You will only lose by leaving us behind,' Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Friday a televised interview on English-broadcasting news channel, Russia Today. Erdogan said Turkey would not become an additional burden for the EU, but it would actually lift some of the existing burdens the EU had."
