imposed sanctions over Turkey’s drilling for gas in waters around Cyprus, a member of the union whose northern third remains controlled by Turkey.has been unable to halt its close neighbour’s drift is a sorry embarrassment. At times the union has been conciliatory, particularly during the migration crisis when Turkey agreed to act as its border guard in return for money and visas.leaders have often bitten their tongues rather than criticise the country’s slide into autocracy.
Neither of the excuses is convincing. Keeping Turkey at arm’s length while looking forward to the end of the Erdogan era does not serve Europe’s interests. The country’s economy is once more on the verge of a currency crisis ; the Cypriot government, fearing hostilities, is pushing for new talks; and the Russian missile deal undermines Western security. “Erdogan has been used by Putin againstambassador to Ankara.
Mr Erdogan is weaker than he looks. His approval ratings are dropping and in regional elections in the spring his Justice and Development Party lost control of the country’s three largest cities, including Istanbul. Ali Babacan, his former deputy prime minister, has quit theto form a new party and Ahmet Davutoglu, his former prime minister, could follow suit. Soon Turkey may also require outside economic assistance.
Europe aspires to a greater role in the world. But if despite all the carrots and sticks it has at its disposal it lastingly loses a direct neighbour and would-be accession state that is controlling territory claimed by an existing member of theThis article appeared in the
EU wants turkey to defend its borders. But they refuse entry into Schengen to prevent Turks from entering EU.
Despite its problems, as the gateway between East&West, Turkey is uniquely situated to offer solutions to local conflicts&contribute to global peace. Turkey must establish a prevailing rule of law, full democracy, which requires fully independent, efficient&accountable judiciary.
All great for Turkey! Turkey deserves to be a member of EU 3
Sono tutti x voi
But eu isnt a prioeity for the Turkey.
MakeConstantinopleGreatAgain
Turkey is failing to be an acceptable partner to the EU.

same as usual. never get to know TR in this way.
When you have a cracy populist leader, we are all in danger.
Türkey is:
Turkey is not a priority for the EU . Turkey can only be partially embraced by Germany because the Turks fought alongside the Nazi Germans led by Adolf Hitler during the European and Nazi Germany war.
Well the Christian EU did never intend to accept Muslim Turkey even back than 80th and 90th where the country was ruled by secular parties. Back than, Nato allies did not sell critical defence systems. Even that time some EU members supported pkk and now US doing it massive.
Let us talk about brexit...
Turkey is a wall for European security... EU forgot that over 3.5 Million Syrian migrants lives in Turkey and if not Turkey 3.5 Million Syrian migrants will go to the border of EU ....
May I legitimately ask. How did one Corporation. The EU get power over Sovereign States? May I ask to those with Intelligence, when did one give up autonomy to a non-existing body of corporations? The EU is not a State or a Country. Its a Corporation with By laws.
Not enough 🥕 to lure Erdogan yet not enough 🤛 to force him to comply😹😹
What is the reason for Erdogan's love of the editors of this twetter account?
We dont want Eu...
200 country have. One year 52 week (365 days) Why every week at least 2 news have about Erdoğan.
Mustafa kemal ataturk anchored Turkey in Europe and the wider West after the collapse of the Ottoman empire. About a century on Recep Tayyip Erdogan is reversing that process. Very true
Bizarre, a NATO member buying missile systems from Russia - a choice
The important part of this statement are the words 'Turkey is failing'
The economist.... is that the same newspaper owned by the Rothschild family?
Fuck Turkey. Maybe if the relationship fails, we can finally look at the glaring issue of the genocide of the Kurds at their southern region... and help establish a justified independent Kurdistan...
Turkey have good relationship with Germany & UK Turkey is energy hub, without having good relationship to Turkey then EU will have higher expenditure for energy. Turkey as one of Nato members. EU or Nato issue, cleaning & aligning 'internal alliances'
The EU is failing...🤪
ProfElvanAktas Unless there are refugees in Europe, there is no problem.Europe loves a hypocritical politician.
Dictator
alllibertynews They are not doing too well with the U.K. either
So is NATO’s relationship with Turkey.
Turkey wants to keep its options open. Always has been that way.
Turkey has a big 🍆🍆...Would you taste it?
Expected result.
What happened to the previous title of this article? Anyway, UK,because US doesn’t care anymore and for other obvious reasons, doesn’t push integration and no one else cares for that in the EU. Last EU foreign Secretary to push for Turkey integration? Boris J from England.
是你们自讨没趣
Deep inside Erdogan he still want to be part of the EU 😂😂😂
😂 😂 😂
It's like... there is something between the two nations... like a wall of glass...
Probably for the same reason that America's relationship with Turkey is failing--The Saudi petrol monarchs despise the Ottomans almost as much as the EU member States once did.
Some fraudulent members of the 🇪🇺 have no influence on the 🇹🇷 people. Even some of the major European Union members clearly supports coup against the Turkish people, the PKK terrorist organization relations and protection of Turkey's needs, which he took when we need the air ➕
No election in Turkey in the near future..... Poor The Economist and friends
Why 🇪🇺 owns Turkey? 🇹🇷is a NATO member. Who controls NATO? 🇺🇸 and water carriers 🇬🇧,🇱🇺,🇩🇰,🇳🇴,🇵🇱
EU have been treating Turkey as a dirt as a beggar wanting desperately to become full member of the European Union For years that was delayed on one or another pretext. Treating a Ottoman Empire father Like this was Insulting & disgraceful. Turkey is right.
A chance fatally missed years ago by bilateral ignorance. Turkey could have been the link to build up a Mediterranean union alongside the borders of ancient Roman Empire, avoiding rise of regional extremism.
Ey Avrupa bu günler iyi günleriniz Sizi 2023’ten sonra göreceğim İnşallah yerin dibine girersiniz.
What a joke. An English publication complaining of EU. EU was blocked by the UK at every turn internally because that is what the US wanted. Last FS pushing for Turkey to join? Boris Johnson. The nerves of being English, a pet nation of US and put that on the EU. October is far.
Sopa okey de havuç?
TURKEY IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
Turkey has turned its face to the east, too far now to the European Union
Does it not prove the point that the EU Commision are only in it for the money and the back slapping
Europarl_EN began the process in 2000-4 with its high horse & racist attitude to Turkish army who were the key its modernism
We dont wanna be a slaves of spoiled european bitchez anymore, thats it 👋🏼 it is not about erdogan it is about the unfair relationship btw turkey and eu. WE DONT WANNA BE IN THE WEST ANYMORE WE ARE PROUDLY WEST AND EAST
Multiple countries had a shit attack at the notion of Turkey ascending. Turkey is a regional power, they weren't going to wait for us to come around. Also, the EU should stop somewhere, it can't expand forever.
Because the EU couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery and Turkeys President is a nutter
We don't need a relationship with Turkey. Only Americans need to have relationship with Turkey and Russia so Turkey can get arms from both countries.
That's not gonna fly.
The EU has descended into the U.N. Class of bureaucracy.
UK new P.M can change every thing between EU and turkey
It’s not a “drift” or anything!!! We as a nation are just fed up with getting screwed over and over again by our so-called allies on pretty much every platform there is!!! That’s why Erdogan has full public (including opposition parties) support on this!!!
Let me make it very clear, whether it’s erdogan or anyone else as the head of state the Turkish people will not accept eu or nato or American dictatorship. It’s time they stop meddling in our affairs. Erdogan will come and go, Turkish pride and resilience will always remain.
for 60 years, Turkiye expend energy to join the european union and reform lots of lots of.Definetely IT needs lots of reform as well.Whereas what did Eu do except show carrot.Nothing.Turkey is looking for new partner more honest any more.
Turkey should absolutely give up its efforts to join the European Union, Turkey should leave NATO and form a Defense Alliance with Russia, China and Pakistan.
EU &The West have been too hypocrite and unreliable towards Turkiye&Erdoğan, so there is no reason for Turks to trust Western hypocrites who have been supporting terrorists and trying to tear apart Turkiye from the South East...
Fuck the eu.We dont need any permission acc what we want
We are working👍
Try Once More
It is not Europe, it is Turkey that has gone. It is the power obsession of Erdogan that becomes harm Turkey. TR has changed dramatically under Erdogan. He will not give up his power so easily. If Turkey, without Erdogan, back of course, i'm sure the EU will be open again for TR.
bks094 Aklınızı alacak aklınızı.Elinizden geleni yapın. Avrupa Birliği havası atın. Tayyip Başkan, interest falan dinlemez, adamın dibidir. Bekleyin siz.
Erdogan is a mere symptom of the malaise that’s affecting turkey. Regardless of who comes to power next, turkey and the west are on divergent paths
i wanna come to europe anymore. turkey has no any serves for life. nowadeys it has become a ignorant, indelicate, worthless country. in this point, i have a life like you and i wanna get out of this burden. you can't deceive me ifluencing with money. i just want respect
Erdoğan dönemi diye birşey yok Türklerin yeniden diriliş dönemi var bugün Erdoğan'ı oraya getirenler Erdoğan dan sonra oraya gelecek olanı da düşünmüşdür siz merak etmeyin bu uzun bir sürecin başlangıcı sadece
Unfortunately European Union suffers from lack of leadership and wise politicians. In their clueless efforts to appease Erdogan (a delusional Sultan, read Muslem Brotherhood) they supinely cater to a bully and dictator to protect their short term venal commercial interests.
Relations depends on interests so its impossible. Turkey have a great importance to Europe.
Isolate him, like this is the best for unsettled miscreant whose logic is baseless.
friends, this Zionist magazine is denigrating erdogan. Don't believe this magazine
Hello😎
If Turkey was to let Syrian refugees move to Europe, no European government would survive longer than 6 months. Each administration would quit one by one.
