Ankara - British Foreign Secretary David Miliband Wednesday expressed Britain's support for Turkey's bid to join the European Union, saying that proposals that fall short of full membership for Turkey were not an alternative. "We want to be allies of Turkey inside the European Union and not just proponents of a better dialogue between the European Union and Turkey," Miliband said at a joint press conference with his Turkish counterpart Ali Babacan in Ankara in remarks that were a clear reference to the French and Austrian governments' reluctance to back full membership for Turkey."
