Gul je "vrlo dobro upoznat s evropskim i međunarodnim poslovima, i ja sam uvjeren da će on uspjeti približiti svoju zemlju EU, kao i dalje razviti ulogu Turske kao važnog faktora u međunarodnoj areni," dodao je on.
Gul is "very well acquainted with European and international affairs and I am confident he will succeed in bringing his country closer to the EU as well as further developing the role of Turkey as an important player in the international arena," he added.
