Jose Manuel Barroso, head of the European Commission, said the European Union hopes Turkey will become a member.
Barroso held a news conference Thursday with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, The New Anatolian reported. He refused to make any direct comment on a court challenge to the ruling AK Party. The chief prosecutor asked a court last month to ban the party on the grounds that it is trying to reverse Turkey’s status as a secular state. “I hope the decision of the Constitutional Court would be a decision compatible with the rule of law, European standards, with jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights,” Barroso said.

Paris Hilton took part in an impromptu belly dance during the Miss Turkey 2008 contest in Istanbul yesterday. The heiress was a judge at the beauty pageant - but she clearly didn’t want to be left out of the limelight. Paris, 27, took to the stage to join a professional belly dancer and was seen twirling and shaking her hips to the music. ‘This is my first time judging anything like this,’ Paris tells Reuters. ‘I’m going to look at how the girls carry themselves, what they look like, the way they dress and what they say.’  It almost pains me to post this, just because Paris Hilton could not possibly love being the center of attention anymore and, by putting this up, I’m totally giving her what she wants, but I just had to. I have eyes, and I can see that Paris is an attractive girl, but, when it comes to dancing, she is just an awkward mess.

But Erdogan also said that Turkey expected “that the European Union would remain faithful to the engagements undertaken towards Turkey; the statement added.Turkey started negotiations to join the bloc in 2005, but a year later Brussels froze talks on eight of the 35 policy fields that candidates must complete before accession, over a disagreement on Cyprus.

France and Germany have proposed a “privileged partnership” instead of full membership to the Muslim state, a compromise already rejected by Erdogan who warned the European Union not to become a club of Christians Erdogan arrived Thursday on a two-day official visit to Bulgaria, where he was scheduled to meet President Georgy Parvanov and the leaders of the coalition partners in government, former king Simeon Saxe Coburg and Turkish-minority party leader Ahmed Dogan.

Hundreds of Kurdish protesters lobbed stones at police and soldiers yesterday in southeastern Turkey in a fourth-straight day of clashes that have killed at least two people and injured dozens. A Kurdish demonstrator was shot to death yesterday and a police officer was injured, hospital officials said. Almost all shops were closed, with residents staying home.

The demonstrators - mostly members of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society party, which faces closing for alleged ties to Kurdish were protesting against the death of a Kurd who died early yesterday after being shot during clashes with police a day earlier.
