ANKARA - ''The road to Europe may be bumpy at times, but it is the road to freedom and peace for any country,'' said Siim Kallas, Vice President of the European Commission.
Giving a conference at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Kallas stated that Turkey was at present going through a process of radical change and democratization, including a rapid evolution of mentalities.
''I am convinced that Turkey's progress in implementing its impressive reform program will have a great impact on European opinion,'' Kallas stressed.
