Slovenian President: "If The EU wants to become a global actor, it needs Turkey"

If the European Union wants to become a strategic global actor, it needs Turkey, said Danilo Turk, the president of Slovenia, which currently holds the EU presidency. Addressing the European Parliament, Turk said that the EU shouldn't shrink Turkey from its commitment to follow through on Turkey's full membership process, warning that doing so would damage the Union's honor.
