Turkish military tells Turkish Government to slow down on the EU reforms and the Cyprus issue
Turkish Daily News (01.10.07) reports the following:
As government's focus turns to reform in order to bring new life to the stalled EU membership process, military voices its preference for Turkey taking the slow lane in implementing reforms
Turkey's powerful military has warned the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government not to take the fast lane in the European Union reform process.
According to officials who wished to remain unidentified, the warning came from a top level military official, during a meeting held last month in Ankara to review Turkey's reform process. The intra-governmental meeting on September 17, presided by Turkish Foreign Minister and EU Chief Negotiator Ali Babacan was attended by top level bureaucrats as well as Lt. Gen. Hilmi Akin Zorlu, head of the General Staff Planning and Principles Department
