The ministry said in a statement that although the evaluation section of the report titled “The status of political, economic and trade relations between Turkey and the EU” stressed the need for a positive agenda, “it was seen that it was written under the influence of the narrow-minded claims of several member states and with a one-way view of Turkey-EU relations.”
“At the same time, we welcome the efforts made by the report to advance Turkey-EU relations on the basis of a positive agenda and the rhetoric that is tried to be reflected in the summit statement,” it said.

Ankara welcomes the positive agenda of the EU Summit on Turkey despite some unfounded claims in the final document, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.
ReplyDelete"The report on political, economic and commercial relations between Turkey and the European Union, on which the final communique of the EU Summit was adopted, was prepared under the impact of claims by several member states and from a unilateral perspective; however, it points out the need for a positive agenda.
Nevertheless, we welcome the provisions of the document on promoting the Turkish-EU relations on the basis of the positive agenda, and the rhetoric of the summit's final communique," the ministry said in a statement on late Thursday.
