"TURKEY IS ALSO EUROPE! (translated and summarised)
The declarations of Valery Giscard d'Estaing against the integration of Turkey to the European Union caused embarrassment, anger or satisfaction with Convention on the future of Europe which the former French president directs and who sat as a plenary session in Brussels. Valery Giscard d'Estaing indeed decided firmly against the integration of Turkey in the EU, by estimating in an interview published by Le Monde that it would mark 'the end of the European Union' (sic). The Convention on the future of Europe is charged to think about the institutional contours of the EU after its widening.
It includes representatives of all the countries applying for accession, including Turkey."
