Addressing the Platform of Communications Professionals, Bagis informed the audience about Turkey's EU process and its repercussions on the Turkish-US relations.
He said that there were no problems in Turkey-EU relations, adding that 'Prime Minister and AKP had promised Turkish people prior to Nov. 3rd (2002) general elections that the EU negotiations would have the top-priority when AKP party came to power. We haven't given up our promise and our willingness regarding Turkey's EU bid.'"
