Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

WRIGHT E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: OPRC, KMDR, TU, Press Summaries SUBJECT: ANKARA MEDIA REACTION REPORT MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2005 THIS REPORT PRESENTS THE TURKISH PRESS SUMMARY UNDER THREE THEMES: HEADLINES BRIEFING EDITORIAL OPINION --------------------------------------------- ----- European Union Moscow's initial reaction to Turkey drawing closer to the EU was lukewarm. "If you enter the EU we cannot meet frequently," Putin was reported as telling his host, Prime Minister Erdogan, during the former's visit to Ankara in late 2004. However, at the two leaders' next meeting in Moscow in January 2005, Putin already said that Russia was in favour of Turkey's EU membership, primarily since it promised to open up new trading channels for Russia. ''We welcome Turkey's success at the EU Brussels summit,'' Putin said in Moscow. ''I hope that Turkey's integration in the European Union will open up a new horizon for Russian- Turkish business cooperation.'' EDELMAN
