PM: Greece awaiting deeds from Turkey to prove its EU shift

"PM: Greece awaiting deeds from Turkey to prove its EU shift
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has called on Turkey to demonstrate the reality of its shift towards the European Union through concrete action.

'We back our neighbour's European prospects in the belief that this will benefit the Turkish people and the country's neighbours,' Karamanlis told residents of the border island of Karpathos on Wednesday.

'Now is the time that our neighbours are called on to show in practice that they want to align with the EU's constitutional, economic and political law, and that they are able to do that, to respond to the principles and values of the EU, to international law, to the principles of good neighbourliness, to human rights, towards religious minorities, and towards the Republic of Cyprus,' the premier said."
