Gul: Turkey determined on EU process

Turkey is not slow in taking action for EU membership

"We are determined to pursue this process successfully. We will bring the standards of most developed EU countries to Turkey within that process."

Gul said that the chief negotiator for this process would be announced by the prime minister prior to the Turkey-EU Troika meeting which is to be held on March 7.

Gul also added how important the development and application of scientific and technological studies are in Turkey and noted for this reason TUBITAK has a great responsibility throughout the EU process.
