see that happening with the rise of far-right

parties in France and Germany today?

Well, uh, that was the idea 20 years ago, that

was the reasoning... ...when he uh didn't want

us. He said, look, I mean, it would give a rise

for uh far-right in Europe. So what happened

was, we have not become a part of uh EU, but

far-right... And the far-right happened anyway.

Anyway. So, we keep telling again, if we had

been a... ...part of European Union, we would

have not seen Brexit... ...and Europe in general

would have been much more resilient in the face

of current uh security... So Turkish membership

in the EU would have would have saved the UK

from Brexit, is what you're saying?

Yeah. Yes, yes and uh saved... How?

And... You know, uh UK was always looking a

broader uh EU because uh... ...they didn't want

to see the, you know, the the the core uh of

uh, you know, the the the power of EU is just

uh... In Brussels. Yeah. So, um, but you know,

uh, it would be a balancing act. Now we are

out of side outside of uh EU on the eastern

and western flank... ...and we are having uh

strategic dialogue with UK because we have same

priorities... ...and we have same same positions

vis-à-vis EU and with our region.
