Previously on "Turkey admitted into EU by mother Merkel"
David Cameron has strongly supported Turkey's application to join the European Union on a visit to the country.
Speaking in Ankara, the Prime Minister said that he was "angry" at the lack of progress in the negotiations.
He said that the UK will do everything it can to help Turkey "pave the road from Ankara to Brussels".
Britain’s ruling Conservative and opposition Labour parties both support Turkish membership of the EU.
In a TV Interview on 7 October, Merkel said she was opposed to Turkey becoming a member of the EU. "Erdogan knows this," she said.
Although she has said that she is willing to re-open talks:
"Germany is ready this year to open chapter 17, and make preparations for (chapters) 23 and 24," she said, referring to the chapter of the community acquis on economic and monetary policy, and the two chapters on justice, security and fundamental rights.
Its actually the Brits who seem to want Turkey in the EU but don't let the facts get in the way of a bit of foreigner bashing, again....
