The announcement of the Turkish Foreign Ministry
“It is unfortunate that in the decisions taken at the Summit of Heads of State and Government of the European Union (EU), a biased, visionless and distanced attitude towards our country was shown. This is proof that the EU once again failed to get out of the vicious circle regarding Turkey.
It is unacceptable for the EU to try. to legitimize the maximalist and illegal positions for the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean. In the same way, it is completely shameful that the EU remains silent on Greece’s illegal actions in violation of international law, including its claim for 10 miles of airspace, the militarization of the islands and repulsion practices. These decisions do not help to solve the problems, but they also harm the regional stability.
Although Turkey has always maintained its position in favor of international law and good neighborly relations, it is an example of complete dishonesty to respond to this approach of our country with a strategy of deliberate intensity and escalation.
The EU he must now realize that he must not commit himself – and sacrifice the benefits he will derive from the accession process and cooperation with our country – to the narrow-minded, illegal and maximalist claims of Greece and the Greek Cypriot administration. This is required by the substantive and general interests of the EU.
Turkey believes that the EU it must work sincerely with all candidate countries and that accession processes must proceed on the basis of value. “
