“There is no reasonable explanation for the blocking of the accession process of a candidate country like Türkiye, which has made significant contributions to the prosperity and security of the continent, for years,” President Erdoğan said.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the Plenary Session of the Fifth Summit of the European Political Community in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.
“It is clear that an equitable enlargement policy is the Union’s most important geopolitical tool.”
“There is no reasonable explanation for the blocking of the accession process of a candidate country like Turkey, which contributes significantly to the prosperity and security of the continent, for years. In the current geopolitical conjuncture, it is clear that strengthening our membership perspective will benefit both Europe and our nearby geography. As Türkiye, we are ready for dialog and cooperation to advance our relations with the EU on a healthy basis.”
