"If there's anything to the notion that Turkey is moving eastwards, it is in no small part because it was pushed, and it was pushed by some in Europe refusing to give Turkey the kind of organic link to the West that Turkey sought," he said during a visit to London.
"Ako ima nečega u mišljenju da se Turska pomiče ka Istoku, to se ne događa samo malim dijelom zato što je gurnuta, a gurnuta je od strane nekih u Europi koji odbijaju pružiti Turskoj takvu vrstu organske veze sa Zapadom koju je Turska zatražila", kazao je Gates tijekom posjeta Londonu.
