IT is impossible for Turkey to accept changes to its counter-terror law, which already meets European Union standards, EU Affairs Minister Volkan Bozkir said on Wednesday.
Speaking to broadcaster NTV, Bozkir also said that making changes to the counter-terror law is not an element of the planned visa-exemption deal with Europe.
