ROME - Turkish Parliament Speaker Bulent Arinc, who is currently in Danish capital Copenhagen to attend the Conference of Speakers of EU Parliaments, met Italian Senate Speaker Franco Marini on Friday.
Italian news agency ANSA quoted Marini as saying following the meeting that sound friendly relations between Turkey and Italy were reconfirmed.
Referring to relations between Turkey and the EU, Marini said that although there was no need to hide problems in Europe about Turkey's membership, suspension of the problem for a long time would yield worse results.
