TURKISH DAILY NEWS: Germany's conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel, who launched plans last week to revive the European Union constitution as the now 27-nation bloc's term presidency, has renewed her criticism of the draft text for not referring to the importance of Christianity in Europe.
“I would have preferred a clearer acknowledgement of [Europe's] Christian roots,” Merkel was quoted on Saturday as saying in a preview of an interview with German Focus magazine.
