Boselli: Turkey’s Having Dialogue With Europe About Iraq Crisis Is Very Important

Noting that he hoped Turkey would adopt a position to Iraq crisis with support of Europe, Boselli said, ”especially if the United States turns it into a military operation…In this case, Turkey’s having a good dialogue with Europe may be very important. Meanwhile, everything is much easier for both Turkey and Europe if there is a military operation under a U.N. resolution.”
When the A.A correspondent asked whether or not Turkey’s participation in operation against Iraq might negatively affects its relations with the EU, Boselli said, ”no. I don’t suppose that this has connection with the relations with the EU. If Turkey takes a decision together with the United States within the NATO, this does not constitute a factor like suspension of relations between Turkey and the EU. It would be better if such a decision is not taken but even if it is taken, this does not constitute a reason.”
