Headlining with "Hello Europe," Hürriyet reports that the European Union is considering measures to strengthen ties with Turkey. Fears that Ankara may set aside its European ambitions to reinforce its role in the Middle East, which have recently been heightened by diplomatic conflict over Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip, may have a positive impact on Turkish-EU relations. According to the Turkish daily, which cites a number European sources including the German daily Die Welt, the fresh strategy adopted in Brussels "could result in the opening of new chapters in negotiations on Turkish accession to the EU. Visa exemptions for Turkish citizens travelling to Europe could also be on the agenda."
