Erdogan urges EU to let Turkey be its full member

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday said the European Union cannot achieve its goal of becoming a power hub without Turkey.

"It is not possible for the EU to achieve its goal of becoming the center of attraction and power without Turkey as a full member," Erdogan said, addressing the South- East European Cooperation Process (SEECP) Summit in Turkey's Mediterranean resort city of Antalya.

He said that Ankara expects the EU to "immediately rid itself of its strategic blindness", and to advance the accession process within the framework of a positive agenda, Daily Sabah reported.
