In the meantime, Turkey is moving closer to the EU, with the government overcoming nationalistic objections in the Parliament to push through comprehensive reforms. Turkey also showed its good will over Cyprus, removing a nagging political obstacle to EU membership.
与此同时，土耳其与欧盟的关系正日益密切，政府战胜了议会中的民族主义势力，开始推行全面的改革。此外，土政府在塞浦路斯问题上也表达了诚意，去掉了加入欧盟过程中一个令人心烦的政治障碍。上述举措使欧盟委员会在不久前发出倡议，建议开始与土耳其进行入盟谈判。
