European Parliament has refused the "Taking Turkey to the extended process" suggestion the Greens and the radical leftists have given.

European Parliament did not take Turkey to the "extended process" in its advisory decision that it will present at the European Union government chairmans and presidents peak and suggested a "high leveled special relation"
In the voting done at yesterday's General Assembly, the two alteration proposals the Greens and the Radicals have suggested, "Giving an open pre-membership strategy to have Turkey ready for a full membership" and "making no discrimination against Turkey's candidacy" were both rejected. The votes for Turkey was limited by some of the parliamentarians of the Greens, the Radicals and the Socialists.
In the article about Turkey the fact that the relations with Turkey was different from those of East Europe was emphasized and was said that Turkey is a very important country for the European Union and that it deserves special attention. In the decision the following was suggested: "Establishing a high leveled special relation with Turkey that is beyond the Customs Union and inviting Ankara to the European Conference"
