Whatever we think about Turkey, there is one thing on which we must agree, and that is that it is in our fundamental interests that Turkey should become democratic, subject to the rule of law and stable, that it should become a steadfast and reliable partner for the European Union.
Quoi que nous pensions de la Turquie, il est une chose dont nous devons convenir: il est de notre intérêt fondamental que la Turquie devienne démocratique, respectueuse de l’État de droit, stable; qu’elle devienne un partenaire solide et fiable pour l’Union européenne.
