I say great! We need to show a little backbone. Especially toward Mr. Perfect Tan Year around Chirac. |

Be sure that if Turkey decide to step back they will have enough reasons to show that the EU done double standards to throw them into turmoil, but do you really think that will happen? |

You're right Murtaza. Suddenly the goal posts are being moved again after all the promises that have been made. I do not expect anything else from some of the EU countries that have used Turkey for such a long time.Austria still has a vendetta against us for knocking on Vienna's gates almost half a millennium ago. What a shame. |
