Erdogan called on the EU for internal changes

The head of state in his speech announced the departure of the EU in recent years from the stated goals. The leadership of the association allegedly turned out to be influenced by the short-term interests of individual states.

Erdogan recalled the foundations of the Shulman Declaration – preventing contradictions and differences in relations between European countries, mutual integration in integrating the world, promoting development and stability in Europe.

According to the Turkish leader, a tragedy has now unfolded in the very center of Europe, which is a warning for the EU. “Modern Europe more than ever needs solidarity and cooperation, and most importantly, a courageous and conceptual position. Today, Turkey is not only a candidate country and a member of NATO, but also a strong and significant partner, making a significant contribution to preventing challenges on the continent” , he noted.

Erdogan focused on the negative consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war for the planet. The main challenges associated with it are security, migration, supply chain and energy resources.

The Turkish president has once again announced that he will maintain the course towards full membership in the EU and “patient and resolute” movement towards it. Turkey’s accession to the EU, according to Erdogan, will strengthen the security of the union.
