Cameron says Turkey will join EU in year 3000

In an interview with ITV, British PM, David Cameron said that Turkey can join the European Union in the year of 3000 because of its current progress.

He told that “It is not remotely on the cards that Turkey is going to join the EU anytime soon. They applied in 1987. At the current rate of progress they will probably get round to joining in about the year 3000 according to the latest forecasts,” Sputnik reports.

Earlier this month, the European Commission recommended that the European Parliament vote on visa-free regime for Turkey once the country meets all 72 required conditions. Most of the requirements have already been fulfilled by Ankara, though five problematic criteria remain, including the revision of Turkey’s national anti-terrorism laws and freedom of the press.
