TURKEY DOES NOT WANT TO BE THE TROJAN HORSE OF EUROPE

Minister for EU Affairs and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis hosted the performance of "The Fire of Anatolia-Troy" in Ljubljana, Slovenia where he paid an official visit. Minister Bagis indicated that Turkey didn't want to be the trojan horse of Europe and added "On the contrary, we want to agree with everybody in Europe, contact with them and contribute by producing solutions to problems of Europe"

In his speech, Egemen Bagis gave information about the performance and pointed out that "individual ambitions and lack of vision dragged people to war even unwillingly." Addressing nearly 5,000 people, Bagis said the dance in the performance symbolized turning of the wars into peace.

Bagis highlighted that Turkey's EU bid was the biggest peace project of the era, and added that Turkey wanted to reach a compromise and be in contact with everyone during the process.

Bagis said Fire of Anatolia symbolized vividness, fire and dynamism of Anatolia, and added "Turkey's EU membership will also add dynamism to the union".
