Schroeder said Turkey should be given a "positive signal"
Schroeder said Turkey should be given a “positive signal” in Copenhagen but gave no details, saying he and French President Jacques Chirac would discuss a joint position when they meet on Wednesday evening.
The United States meanwhile kept up its pressure for the EU to open its doors to a strategic NATO ally.
“History suggests that a European Union that welcomes Turkey will be even stronger, safer than it is today. The alternative, exclusionary choice is surely unthinkable,” Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said in a speech in London Monday.
