"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 tačno između Bliskog istoka i Evrope i, ako nam nije potreban nijedan drugi podsetnik strateškog značaja Turske za EU, to je ono što se danas događa na Bliskom istoku", izjavio je Bler novinarima u Ankari posle razgovora sa turskim kolegom Redžepom Tajipom Erdoganom.
