I suspect Cameron was told to make the trip and the statements by President Obama as it is a policy of the Trilateral Commission and the Council of Foreign Relations to force Turkey into the EU to act as a buffer with the Muslim States in the Middle East and ensure the operation of the United States Air Force base at Incirlik which has nuclear capacity and this will alow the US to attack Iran. You may think I am making too much of it but to me Cameron is misguided to the point of stupidty in pursuing this policy.
Cameron 'anger' at slow pace of Turkish EU negotiations
"When I think about what Turkey has done to defend Europe as a Nato ally, and what Turkey is doing today in Afghanistan, alongside our European allies, it makes me angry that your progress towards EU membership can be frustrated in the way it has been."My view is clear. I believe it is just wrong to say that Turkey can guard the camp but not be allowed to sit in the tent.
"So I will remain your strongest possible advocate for EU membership and greater influence at the top table of European diplomacy."

co.uk/news/ uk-politics- 10767768 I am pleased to see that Mr Cameron is a loyal friend of our country. However I am against the EU project for various reasons.
Firstly, the idea of Europe that prevails in the Continent is not in agreement with Turkish perceptions. Sooner or later there must be a renewal of the five century old conflict between Turkey and the anti-Muslim league that holds sway over there. Note also that the anti-Muslim league is being led by adherents of a heretical church.
Secondly, the Club Med countries, especially Greece, have shown that EU membership is likely to end in bankruptcy and tears. Since Turkey is a relatively young country, there is an additional danger to contend with we may end up paying for the pensions of foreigners.
Thirdly, various EU countries play host to terrorist movements and their leaders. Ocalan's stay in Italy and Fehriye Erdal's disappearance in Belgium demonstrate that the EU is a terrorist haven.
Fourth, the EU and Turkey disagree over a wide range of foreign policy topics, including Cyprus, Darfur and Iran. It will be difficult to reconcile our fundamentally different approaches to foreign relations with theirs. The question of visas imposed on Turkish travellers is a breach of existing treaties between Turkey and the EU and apart from showing how far we have drifted apart, it is a case in point of how reliable and respectable a partner the EU has been.
Fifth, various countries, such as France and the Greek Cypriot authority are busy enacting and implementing laws that cannot be reconciled with Turkish law. France wants to persecute those who reject genocide charges against Turkey, while Turkey is inclined to persecute those who make the charges. Such differences in legislation would certainly be inconvenient with the European Arrest Warrant and the EU Gendarmerie on the table, with more to come.
Sixth, the EU has its ideological roots in the works of Napoleon and Hitler. Turkey has no reason to join a Fourth Reich.
Seventh, the share of the EU in Turkish foreign trade is in decline. The growing markets are in Africa and the Islamic World. The Islamic countries have additional advantages when their natural resources and geographic placing on the world's major trade routes are taken account of.
Frankly, I am put off with the EU and all that it stands for. Turkey is very lucky to have stayed out, unlike its next door neighbour Greece which did join and is now far behind Turkey in all the key measures of economic strength and industrial skill. My reply to Mr Cameron is "thank you for your support, sir, but no thank you! Neither of our countries has any business in the bloody EU."
