"Belgian FM: Suspension of talks with Turkey would be disaster

Belgian Foreign Minister Karel De Gutch warned on Monday that any kind of 'suspension' in Turkey's membership talks with the European Union would be a 'disaster.'

Speaking to reporters following the European Council meeting in Brussels, De Gutch stated that the EU enlargement process can't be limited to the incoming accessions of Romania and Bulgaria to the bloc, stressing that Turkey's membership can't even be compared to those countries. 'The enlargement that will materialize with Turkey's membership in the EU will be a geostrategic enlargement. The EU, which has the will to become a global power, should analyze well developments in the Middle East and the rise of radicals in the Muslim world.' "
