Watson: We should show that EU is not a Christian Club

Replying to questions of A.A before Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended European Parliament Chairmanship Conference, Watson said, "the EU should show that it is a secular organization; it does not make discrimination on religion; and it is not a Christian club."

Noting, "Prime Minister Erdogan was very successful throughout the reform process in Turkey," Watson said, "there are people who want to undermine this process, but we should help reforms."

Watson said, "parties will have the chance to understand each other in a better way during the conference."

Meanwhile, Erdogan met Josep Borrell, President of the European Parliament, and discussed Turkey-EU relations before he attended the Chairmanship Conference.
