Egemen Bagis: Turkey to complete its EU journey with membership

Turkey's European Union (EU) chief negotiator said that Turkey will complete its EU journey with membership.

Egemen Bagis said there isn’t any country that “launched negotiations with the EU, but failed to complete them," Bagis said.

“Turkey made a great deal of its trade to EU member states and was a part of all European institutions except the EU. One day, the conjuncture will make Turkey's membership inevitable and our duty is to prepare Turkey for it," he said, the Anatolian Agency reported.
