Turkey-EU committee co-chair: "The CHP must act to show it favors EU accession"

Turkey-EU Joint Parliamentary Committee Co-Chair and EP Greens Group spokesperson Joost Lagendijk yesterday spoke about the main opposition Republican People's Party's (CHP) stance on the EU. "Favoring the EU cannot be shown by saying nice things in the media," he said at a meeting on Turkey. "You have to perform actions. You have to support EU reforms, and shouldn't block them in Parliament."
