Prema riječima turskog ministra za evropske poslove Egemena Bagisa, čak i kad bi Turska obustavila pregovore u drugoj polovini 2012, to bi imalo malo utjecaja na njen proces pristupanja.
According to Turkey's Minister for EU Affairs Egemen Bagis, even if Turkey was to suspend negotiations in the second half of 2012, it would have little impact on the accession process.
