Turkey should join the European Union, British Prime Minister believes.

"We must work to establish very close ties between Turkey and other members of the European Union. If we think about terrorism and nuclear threat in the Middle East, we will see that Turkey is closely associated with the region. We must think out the ways of living together and ensure that Muslim Turkey joins the EU,” Trend News quoted David Cameron as saying during the winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

He noted that “Turkey and the United Kingdom have been enjoying close ties for a long time.”

"My firm position is that these relations should be successfully continued, and I will work for this," Cameron said.
