Erdogan says EU vote on Turkish membership "has no value"

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has said a vote by the European Parliament on whether to halt EU membership talks with Ankara "has no value in our eyes" and again accused Europe of siding with terrorist organisations.


"We have made clear time and time again that we take care of European values more than many EU countries, but we could not see concrete support from Western friends ... None of the promises were kept," he told an Organisation of Islamic Co-operation conference in Istanbul.

"There will be a meeting at the European Parliament tomorrow, and they will vote on EU talks with Turkey whatever the result, this vote has no value in our eyes."
