Cameron supports Turkey's EU accession

The support for Turkey's accession to the European Union has been a topic of considerable debate, particularly in the context of economic, security, and political implications. In a notable speech delivered in Ankara, the then British Prime Minister expressed strong backing for Turkey's EU membership. He emphasized that Turkey's integration into the EU would not only bolster economic ties but also enhance security cooperation among member states. Cameron argued that Turkey's membership could serve as a bridge between Europe and the Middle East, fostering stability in a region often marked by conflict. He pointed out that the opposition to Turkey's EU bid often stemmed from protectionist sentiments, narrow nationalism, or prejudice, rather than a rational assessment of the benefits that Turkey's membership could bring to the EU.
