EU concerned over political stability in Turkey, calls for reform
The European Union said Tuesday that a legal bid to ban Turkey's ruling party threatened the country's political stability and urged Ankara to accelerate its reform drive to overcome domestic tensions and ease its entry into the EU. "From the point of view of the EU, we want to see Turkey soon overcome this crisis and the best medicine to the current crisis is to indeed launch the reform process in full," Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn said when asked about the case to close down the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
He hoped the case would not have "negative consequences" on Turkey's EU bid, he added.
