"Turkey is placed right between the Middle East and Europe and if we needed no other reminder of the strategic importance of Turkey to the EU, it is what is happening in the Middle East today," Blair told reporters in Ankara following talks with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"Turska se nalazi točno između Bliskog istoka i Europe i ako nam nije potreban niti jedan drugi podsjetnik strateškog značaja Turske za EU, to je ono što se danas događa na Bliskom istoku", izjavio je Blair novinarima u Ankari nakon razgovora s Turskim kolegom Recepom Tayyipom Erdoganom.
