"Turkish prime minister calls on EU to clarify confusion over Turkey

ANKARA, Turkey: Turkey on Tuesday called on the European Union to clarify the confusion over its bid for membership, after criticizing Germany for not inviting the predominantly Muslim country to a summit marking the 50th anniversary of the bloc's founding.

"If the EU has negative thoughts about Turkey, it should make its decision so that we can continue on our own road. Let's not waste money or energy," Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in an apparent reference to Germany, which declined to invite Turkey to the summit held in Berlin over the weekend."
