Mass rallies against Turkey's EU membership were held in Istanbul. Tens of thousands of nationalists marched along the streets shouting out anti-European slogans like "We do not believe EU", "No to EU, no to U.S., long live to independent nationalist Turkey." The rallies proceeded without incidents and police did not interfere. The special meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers held in Luxemburg was fruitless, since the parties failed to agree on the terms for Turkey's accession to the EU. The issue will be once again discussed today.
