Antalya, Türkiye, April 11. The full
membership in the EU remains Türkiye’s strategic goal, Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said at the opening of the Antalya
Diplomacy Forum, Trend reports.
“However, due to fears, biases, and actions of some players who
have taken the Union hostage from within, our accession process to
the European Union does not always progress as it should. Moreover,
today, some European countries, unfortunately, cannot show the
courage, strategic vision, and determination that gave birth to the
European Union three quarters of a century ago,” he said.
Erdoğan pointed out that if the EU wants to overcome the current
challenges and be properly represented in the new world order, it
must act accordingly, get rid of old stereotypes, and give Türkiye
its deserved place in the Union as soon as possible.
