This week The Network talks to three newsmakers to explore the issue of Turkey's accession to the EU. The contrast between the two sides is striking. Turkey is confident with major economic growth, and a president leading a strong majority government. Meanwhile, Europe is deeply divided and its leaders weakened over how to recover from the financial crisis. Some of those European leaders oppose Turkish EU membership. Accession talks have been slow with some chapters frozen, in part because of the eternal stand-off over divided Cyprus. ... www.euronews.net Теги:euronewsthe-networkPoliticsTurkey
www.euronews.net The age old debate of Britain's place at the heart of Europe is heating up once again. Last month Eurosceptics praised Prime Minister David Cameron for saying NO to France and Germany on a new EU treaty calling for deeper fiscal integration. Yet critics warn he's left Britain increasingly isolated on the European political stage. Today the pressure is on for what many see as inevitable: a referendum on whether the UK wants to stay in or get out of the EU. ------------------------------------------------------ Теги:euronewsreporterDiplomacyLondon

There is rising anger from workers fed up with wave after wave of austerity cuts. The street battles and the battles in the halls of power show a Europe deeply divided over how much financial pain to inflict in order to close gaping budget holes and increasing public debt. As Portugal teeters on the edge of bankruptcy, the Lisbon government has finally sought help from the EU. The crisis has sent jitters through the markets driving Portugal's borrowing costs to record levels. ... www.euronews.net Теги:euronewsthe-networkFinancial CrisisPortugal
www.euronews.net Utalk this week carries a query posted on our Internet site: What is the purpose of the European Union's rotating presidency? To introduce the current Danish presidency's answer to this, here are a few points to bear in mind. The presidency of the Council of the European Union is held by a government, not an individual person. The governments of today's 27-country EU take turns in this role, each turn lasting for six months. Теги:euronewsutalkEuropean Union
Daniel Cohn-Bendit to Recep Tayyip Erdogan: Do you still believe that Turkey will enter the European Union? I have the impression that you don't believe it any more.

www.euronews.com Ahmet Davutoglu is seen as the architect of the new Turkish foreign policy over the last decade. Political scientist and historian, he is often dubbed "the Turkish Kissinger". Turkey has become an important regional political and diplomatic state, overcoming years of neighbourhood tensions. He has been talking to Euronews on Syria and the impasse in Turkey-EU membership talks. Bora Bayraktar: "Minister thank you for joining us. Syria remains a hot topic these days and the crisis continues. The Annan plan has given more time to the regime. There are efforts to unify the Syrian opposition and a buffer zone option is also on the table. All this will take more time. Does the continuation of the crisis spell trouble for Turkey?" Ahmet Davutoğlu: "Off course. Continuation of the crisis does not only spell trouble for Turkey but for the whole region, because the geopolitical location of Syria is critical. It's in close interactivity with all its neighbouring countries. It's a very important neighbour of Turkey. Any tension arising from Syria has the potential to affect all the neighbouring countries. Therefore leaving this issue to time and observing the situation by standing back and waiting is not the right option. The international community must step in to prevent the crisis becoming a major cause of instability." Euronews: "Do you see any risk of armed conflict?" Ahmet Davutoğlu: "There are already heavy clashes in Syria." Euronews: "Could it spread beyond ... Теги:euronewsinterviewForeign policyTurkey
