During his meetings with EU Commission Head Jose Manuel Barroso and many EU officials, Bartolomeos said that he believes Turkey’s membership talks will start on Oct. 3 without any problems. Bartholomeos also discussed the issues of the Foundations Law, religious minorities, and the Heybeliada Clergy School and called on the EU Commission to follow these issues.
