Sofia. Turkey's top negotiator in accession talks with the European Union said here Tuesday that his country will pursue reforms to align itself with EU norms even if recently proposed membership talks fail to resume, AFP reported.
'It is hard to predict when we will start talks on the four new negotiation chapters we were recently invited to open.... We are ready but we still need unanimous agreement by the EU-27,' Turkey's Minister of State and Chief Negotiator for European Union affairs Ali Babacan said Tuesday in Sofia.
