In order to further develop our relations with EU, the confrontational approach that has sometimes been displayed should mutually be put aside. Generally, problems are solved more efficiently if the other party's sensitivities, concerns and constraints are taken into consideration. Now there is growing evidence that this unfortunate categorizing is withering away. It is a mutual responsibility to assure that this positive trend further develops. Finally, I expect that a just and clear decision be reached in Helsinki Summit of December 1999.
Human values are universal.
They are values, which we share, which we develop, and will continue to develop, whether we are a candidate, a member, or not. I believe in a future, which is brighter for Europe. I believe in Turkey's contribution to this future.
