Коментарът на Ердоган последва среща в Анкара с полския му колега Доналд Туск, който изрази подкрепа за приемането на Турция в Съюза.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged France and Germany on Thursday (May 14th) not to modify the criteria for Turkey's EU accession, arguing "rules cannot be changed in mid-match." Erdogan's comments followed a meeting in Ankara with Polish counterpart Donald Tusk, who expressed support for admitting Turkey to the Union.
