"Turkish EU talks 'may not start'

Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul has said that Turkey will not send its delegation to Luxembourg to open European Union accession talks before officials see the document detailing the EU's negotiating positions.

'No one expects us to go to Luxembourg before seeing the negotiation framework document,' said Gul, who is scheduled to head the delegation.

'Of course there is a possibility that negotiations will not start,' Gul said, but he added that 'there are intense efforts' to bridge differences."
