BRUSSELLS - "I can confirm Turkey informed us that it may open one of its important ports temporarily," Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja of Finland said today.
"Turkey's proposal is an important step towards full implementation of Ankara Protocol. But it still needs clarification," said Tuomioja in a written statement released on Turkey's proposal on Thursday.
The Foreign Minister of Finland said, "if Turkey is ready to take this step unconditionally, this positive step will affect the EU talks on continuation of entry negotiations with Turkey."
