Attending a meeting of Turkish Accreditation office (TURKAK) Bagis said that the visit was very fruitful.
He reminded the call of Stefan Fuele, commissioner responsible for enlargement of EU, for the revival of the negotiation process between Turkey and the EU, ahead of Erdogan's visit to Germany.
Bagis said that, "Fuele indicated Turkey's important role with regard to Europe's foreign policy and energy security in an article published in Germany's Die Tageszeitung newspaper and called on German authorities to approach the visit sensitively. Regarding that call, German PM Angela Merkel stated positive discourses on Turkey's accession during the visit."
He said that he considers his ministry as the "reform kitchen of Turkey" since several criteria have to be met and many reforms have to be done as part of the accession process.
