turkey's... it's not terribly popular to negotiate european expression with france and germany at the moment which are countries which are clearly opposed to european entry. but the prestige which turkey enjoys in the middle east and north aver a comes from its close relationship with europe. and turkey has not sacrificed that. yes, it's going take time and the wheels of european entry are going to move very, very, very slowly indeed and they are probably only going to move in one direction and that is forward. it's difficult for europe to cancel turkey's application, that isn't going to happen. no single party or force within turkey is going to remove itself with the negotiating table. and i think turkey understands that its peres nej the world depends on its ability to be acceptable to europe and to continue with that european vocation and it may not be the government's highest priority but it certainly is a priority. >> rose: that's my understanding too. but try all this together, henri, the s

turkey getting rich, is turkey getting democracy. are we saking more freely in turkey? i don't think, by the way, i don't think we are. but i don't think we going backyard too. and also, if other army involvement inolitics, we are free compared to recent times. but don't ask me too many questions about turkish foreign politics. i'm not an expert on this. let me talk about musings and novels. >> rose: what do i have in my hand s this a novel. >> guess who it is dedicated to, your daughter. >> yes. >> rose: so talk a little bit about what you wanted to say about writing when you talk about the naive and sentimentalist. >> i delivered the famous charl norton lectures in harvard university two years ago. and now they are published as a book, as the naive and sentimental novellist. i sa first wrote about how i felt, how i feel about writing. it is sort of a-- my lite theory o fiction, sort of a simple they of fiction by a person who experiences it. >> and since i wanted to be a painter as a young man, i'm a failed artist, but i think in fiction i have a painterly eye. that i

can turkey play its real role if that's the perception of turkey?> well, let me ask you something, let me tell you something. with the european union, this process of ours, our process with the european union, well, is is a process that started in 1989, and this is now about 50 years, more than 50 years, we are at the doors of the european union. and there is a european union that does not still accept turkey as a member. this is their understanding. and whato we lack in turkey? what do we lack? i mean, the-- there are countries among the 27 members who are well behind turkey. so turk sepresented-- a political obstacle. weep toecome a european union member. we doing our best so that we become a member. but for the last eight years, the efforts-- i know my efforts, t, unfortunately, the european ion ill continues very clearly is-- is changing the rules of the game in the middle of t game. i mean, presenting obstacles that are not part of the european key. it is not honor. they don't stick to their promise. we say open the doors. that's enough. and th

among them is turkey. this nation is set on plans to build nuclear power plants to keep up with its growing economy, but controversy is heating up in this quake-prone country whether or not to go on as planned. nhk world correspondent sends this report from turkey. >> reporter: turkey is an emerging economy that is enjoying rapid growth like china and india. 12 years ago the country was hit by a major earthquake that killed more than 17,000 people. >> translator: some buildings collapsed entirely. 150 to 200 people were killed. words cannot express how i feel about the tragedy in japan. >> reporter: demand for power is on the rise as the economy continues to boom following the quake. plans are under way to build two nuclear power plants to meet this growing demand. a russian company has won the contract to build one on the mediterranean coast. a japanese firm is bidding to structu construct another plant on the black sea. however, the fukushima accident has triggered concerns over nuclear energy and anti-n

on the other hand, the population in turkey have well understood these democratic values and turkey iser of nato. in afghanistan, for example, turkey has been fulfilling most important responsibility. and we are not-- we don't aim to play for any sort of leadership role in the islamic world. what we are truth to do as turkey is how we can move towards a more contemporary civilization. our goal is to be one of the top 10 economies of the world in the coming years. this is our goal. this is what we're trying to achieve. but, of course, not at the expense of fundamental rights and freedoms. we would like to see our people enjoy even better democratic standards, even better living standards. and we will not be diverted from that course. and we will have relations with the u.s., russia, the u.k., france, all the other countries. and we will continue to work in the most influential, better way that we can work in the region. our goal, of course, is to see peace reign in our region. that's our goal. >> rose: will you win reelection? >> it certainly looks that way at the moment. >> rose: do yo

this and talk with international relations expert professor mark almond from built a university in turkey so now with the titans try. rolling to try and quell the syrian demonstrations how long do you think president assad can really hold out where he is. depends on how much support he has is clearly opposition is clearly. not on the other hand significant minorities in syria are going to talk about. regime there is it own alawite. religious minority but also also the christians in syria who cross the border of iraq and so the christian community there has been almost like a liberation since. we structured democracy so do they really want to see that happen in syria so yes we can see there's a lot of protests there's a lot of discontent but also there are significant groups and say change could be for the worse not better so change could be for the worse and not for the better than other u.s. is a warning syria that it could take additional measures against if the oppression against the protests continues it's already got a long standing trade boycott there what else is there that they ca

can turkey play a role? >> yes. turkey can play a role. turkey played a significant role in trying to encourage syria and israel negotiations in 2008. and made significant advance which is unfortunately were disrupted and ended when the gaza operation began in 2008 and weave encouraged turkey to be involved more now. right now, of course, there's no prospect of any movement on syria given what is occurring in that country but we think turkey can play a significant role a we think one of the real issues... i mentioned earlier the increasing international isolation of israel which is very harm to feel israel and very bad for us, turkey's a good example. two two years ago turkey and israel had goods relations. economic, military and otheise. that's deteriorated sharply now in part due to this conflict. >> rose: in part because of the flotilla? >> the flotillaand some personality clash. it's not good for either country. ey'rboth friends of th united states. itould be much better for both of them if they were able to repair their relations. >>

the turks are also concerned because they are they have the form of islam that dominates in turkey is is not the islam and it's much more mild and there is a large population and minority population in turkey as well as well as as well as a kurdish population so turkey too does not have an interest in syria falling if syria falls i think as your previous pointed out correctly. no one will really win even i think perhaps even the saudis would be the biggest lou. because if the salahi's in syria are much more hardcore then. than in egypt and if if syria follows then jordan will i think definitely i think fall and saudi arabia will be more surrounded than before because right now the saudis have very poor relations with iraq with iran with baron obviously. in yemen things are very unstable there is a weak central government the north of yemen the who have very poor relations with the saudis because of the bombing of their villages by the saudi regime last year and in the south there and their salahi's which are hostile towards the saudis despite the fact that the saudi ruling family asid

the two parties are saudi arabia and turkey. neither one of which wants syria to become anarchisc or subject to iran. they both have interests, they both have influences. i think we have to work with them and see whether something can be contrived with them which preserves stability and promotes movement towards more legitimacy within syria. >> let's talk out another important part of the speech where the president talked about bahrain, an area where he's got some criticism. the united states was initially supporting the shiite majority in bahrain, which is... had protest demands. saudi arab intervened militarily, sending troops into bahrain. how did you think the president did in balancing there the question of u.s. interests and the importance of saudi arabia and u.s. values, wanting to support the majority in be rain and its demands? >> (laughs) well, first of all, i'll be brutally frank, i don't think that such a mar issue. of course it's desirable that bahrain be a perfect democracy as soon as possible, but then the questio
