"Membership talks for Turkey
BRUSSELS - THE EU made an encouraging gesture towards Turkey on Wednesday, nudging forward Ankara's laborious membership talks, amid fears that Europe's refusal to embrace the country is pushing it 'eastwards.'
Representatives of the 27 European Union nations agreed to open a new chapter in Turkey's accession talks, a diplomatic source said. The new policy chapter covers the politically safe issues of food, phytosanitary and veterinary safety, according to the source."
