Turkey will join the EU and demand talks with the opposition in Syria

Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish Prime Minister, on January 26 received in Ankara a delegation of the European Union led by the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security, Federico Mogerini. The meeting discussed the terms of the negotiations on Turkey's accession to the EU. Negotiations on Turkey's accession to the EU intensified last year, they are tied with Turkey's assistance in resolving the problems of refugees. The other day, Federica Mogherini reported that Turkey will be allocated 3 billion euros to help refugees.

The meeting in Ankara was also talked about the problems of Russia's presence in Syria, in the context of the forthcoming negotiations in Geneva on the resolution of the regional crisis. Davutoglu stressed that Turkey is ready to participate in the negotiation process with the participation of real opposition. Turkey refuses to recognize as real opposition the terrorist cells of the Kurdish Workers Party, which may be participants in the negotiations.
