Erdogan held a news conference in Strasbourg on Wednesday.
"The Commission has published three important documents regarding Turkey today," said Erdogan.
He said, "according to the recommendatory document, the Commission examined that Turkey met Copenhagen political criteria sufficiently to start membership talks and it made a recommendation to member countries with this respect."
"This document shows general foundations and methods of negotiation process. The Progress Report analyzes developments and deficiencies in our country under political, economic and acquis titles since 1999. We find the Commission's assessment and analysis generally balanced," said Erdogan. (YE)
