find this a bit complicated, can somebody please explain this subject to me

Right now the Ergenekon probe is Turkey's top concern. Under these circumstances, French President Nicholas Sarkozy's initiative for a 'Mediterranean union' – or, under its new name, 'Barcelona Process: The Union for the Mediterranean' – has a hard time getting Turkey's interest. But not too long ago the issue was an important matter in our country. For this reason, we shouldn't ignore the weekend summit in Paris which brought together 42 heads of state and government, including Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

A number of European countries already recognized that France was trying to draw Turkey away from the European Union and direct it to a new union through the idea of the 'Mediterranean union.' In addition, Paris' efforts to turn the balance in the Mediterranean in its own favor angered the EU.
