Turkey seeks full European Union membership
Source: Malaysia Sun
09 February 2008 –
Turkey would not accept
anything short of a full European Union (EU) membership and should
be a part of the decision-making mechanism of the 27-member bloc,
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday.
'Our objective is a full membership with equal rights,' Erdogan told
a group of diplomats at a security conference that opened Friday in
the southern German city of Munich.
Turkey is 'determined' to continue to make efforts to meet the EU
accession standards, he said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas
Sarkozy opposed full Turkish membership and instead have offered
Turkey a 'privileged partnership,' which has been bluntly rejected
by Ankara.
'We don't find it credible... Turkey is not going to consider other
options,' said Erdogan.
Merkel said Friday in Berlin after meeting Erdogan that Turkey still
has a long way to go before joining the 27-member bloc.
The EU has frozen the access
negotiations with Turkey in 2006 in response to Turkey's refusal to
grant trade privileges to Cyprus, which Ankara does not recognize.
The annual three-day security meeting, attended by diplomats
including NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, US Defence
Secretary Robert Gates and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana is
scheduled to discuss a range of world issues.
Comments: Turkey is still trying get into the European Union full membership club but is being denied entry at every angle. The main stumbling block for Turkey is Cyprus which is a full EU member but not recognized by Turkey and this has dampened any EU membership bid for Mr Erdogan. Germany and France are opposed to full Turkish EU membership and since they are 2 of the largest and longest serving members in the EU club they both have a huge say in the matter. The bible is clear that Turkey will be allied with Russia in the Gog Magog war against Israel and the EU membership bid may eventually turn Turkey away from Europe and onto Russia’s side. Keep an eye on Turkey and see how this progresses in the future.

Calls for tough action as more rockets hit Israel
Source: Herald Tribune
10 February 2008 – Israeli cabinet ministers pressed Sunday for sharper military action in Gaza after a rocket attack by Palestinian militants the night before seriously wounded two brothers, 8 and 19, in the border town of Sderot.
Dozens of residents of Sderot came to Jerusalem to protest what they said was government inaction in the face of the continued rocket fire. Joined by sympathizers, they sat down on the highway and blocked the main entrance to the city at midday before marching to the prime minister's office, paralyzing traffic on central routes.
The Israeli Air Force carried out a strike in Gaza late Saturday night against a Hamas operative in the south who the Israelis asserted was involved in weapons smuggling. Hamas said that one of its local commanders had been killed. Three other airstrikes were aimed against a militants' training camp and two weapons stores but caused no known casualties.
Meir Sheetrit, a minister from the governing Kadima party, said on Israel Radio that the army ought to "make an example, to take a neighborhood in Gaza and erase it" after warning the residents to leave.
Shaul
Mofaz, another minister and a former army chief of staff, asked why
the army had not yet hit Mahmoud Zahar, an influential leader of
Hamas, the Islamic group that controls Gaza.
