I have often argued that Turkey should not intervene in the internal affairs of its neighbors or adopt a Middle East-centered policy. Both government and opposition should remain steadfastly focused on Europe, despite the obstacles that the European Union has placed in Turkey’s way during membership negotiations.
我常指出，土耳其不应该干预邻国的内部事务，也不应该采取以中东为核心的政策。政府和反对派都应该坚决地把焦点集中在欧洲，尽管欧盟在土耳其入盟谈判道路上设置了重重障碍。
