The Turkish parliament is due to adjourn for a winter recess on Friday. It is still unknown whether the vote will take place this year or next month, tentatively after January 16, when the winter recess ends.
Commission head Fuat Oktay played down expectations for a speedy vote in the general assembly, telling reporters in parliament that the parliament speaker would decide on timing.
