Yeni papa 16. Benedikt'in yakin zamanda Turkiye-AB iliskileriyle ilgili verdigi demeci hatirlamakta fayda var:

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded to Ratzinger's comments while on a two-day visit to Georgia. "The Vatican is a religious state. We are speaking to and making evaluations with EU member countries," said Erdogan.
German-born Ratzinger's interview in Le Monde defends that Turkey should seek its future among Islamic organizations, not in Christian rooted EU. The Cardinal indicated that Turkey will always be a contradiction for Europe. He reminded that the Ottomans were at the gates of Vienna and waged war in the Balkans.
Ratzinger emphasized that it would be a mistake to equate the two continents [Europe and Asia] because it would sacrifice their richness and culture for the sake of economic benefits.
