[01] Euro-Constitution woes will not affect policy on Turkey's EU
prospects, Athens says
Greek government spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos on Tuesday ruled out
any revision of Athens' policy toward Turkey's European prospects in
light of the French 'no' to the European Constitutional Treaty and an
apparent shift toward a 'no' vote by the Dutch.
"Categorically no," the spokesman said when asked if the government was
considering a re-evaluation of its stance on Turkey's European course
in view of the French referendum result.
In response to other questions, meanwhile, Roussopoulos confirmed that
the government hoped to proceed with a new revision of the Greek
Constitution when this became possible in about a year's time.
"This has been a New Democracy position for many years, that we are now
glad to say the main opposition also agrees with. A great opportunity
was lost during the previous revision and this is a matter that
troubles the government," he said.
