EU summit again convenes without Turkey

June 7, 2007 - 16:34 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey is once again not invited to the European Council where the heads of EU states are coming together on June 21-22 in Brussels, and this will be the third EU summit Turkey is being excluded from since 2006. The 27 members of the EU club will discuss the European Constitution in the Council without the attendance of EU candidate countries. Last month, Sarkozy said that the discussions about Turkey will be brought up at the December summit of the EU following his meeting with his Italian counterpart, Turkish Daily News reports. The newspaper reminds that Turkey was not invited to the event held for the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome on March 25 in Berlin. The heads of EU member states come together every year, during the handover of the presidency, in June and December.
