Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was in Brussels the other day. In December 2004 I was there too and I remember very well that he was making a historic statement in that very same building: "Turkey will change the course of history and begin accession talks with the European Union. Dreams will come true. Our country will rise to the super league..." This baby was Erdoğan’s child. This baby has accomplished the required reforms that have been tried for years and taken courageous steps. This baby was also successful enough to launch membership negotiations with the EU. Then, it was forgotten all along.
