EU To Begin Fresh Talks On Turkish Membership Days After Brexit Vote

Talks on Turkey’s membership of the European Union (EU) are set to recommence just days after Britain votes on its membership of the block.

The revelation, made by inside sources speaking to AFP, comes after Prime Minister David Cameron promised Turkey could not join “until the year 3,000”.

The Prime Minister said last month that it would be “literally decades before this even had a prospect of happening,” and said, “the Leave campaign are making a very misleading claim” about its impending membership.

Turkey is currently ruled by an Islamist president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has banned gay pride events, imprisoned more journalists than any nation on earth, and refuses to recognise the Armenian genocide.
