Turkey doesn't need EU membership anymore: Prez ErdoÄan
Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan has said that the country no longer needs to join the EU, but will not unilaterally quit the talks on accession to the bloc. Accusing the bloc of failing in the fight against terrorism, ErdoÄan said that it did not respond to Turkey's requests to extradite individuals suspected of involvement in last year's coup attempt.
