Turkey and EU should cooperate to promote security

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The AK Party has achieved a remarkable electoral victory," said Javier Solana, the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union.



The results of this crucial election are a resounding vote of confidence in the path of political and economic reform and ever-closer relations with the European Union that the government has followed, according to him.



"There are many areas in which Turkey and the European Union will have to work closely together over the coming months and years. Making sustained progress in Turkey's accession negotiations is central to this challenging agenda. I welcome the stated determination of Prime Minister Erdogan to achieve Turkey's European Union goals, including the reforms needed to make that happen. Turkey and the European Union should continue their close cooperation to promote peace and security around the world, from the wider Middle East, to the Balkans, the southern Caucasus, Afghanistan and elsewhere," Mr Solana said, Trend reports.
