"Ankara vs Brussels
Has Erdogan really reached the end of his tether or is his demand merely a tactic tinged with Ottoman pride, asks Amani Maged
'Don't keep us waiting' is a new phrase in the Turkish political lexicon on its bid for EU membership. For many years, Ankara has been doing all in its power to win a seat in the European Union. It has fought diplomatically, instituted political reforms and taken enormous strides in economic development in pursuit of this dream, through which it hoped to attain a higher international standing and greater economic advantages."
