In a statement, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry commented on the “27” agreement on the imposition of sanctions on Turkey, stating, among other things, that the abuse of veto rights and solidarity among members by some Member states that brought maximalist claims and irregularities to Turkey’s agenda, put Turkey and the EU in a vicious circle.
The statement emphasizes, in particular, that although there are many EU countries, including the current country, that are seeking contact and dialogue at the Leaders’ Summit on December 1-2, due to the narrow political calculations of one or two countries. . A positive agenda has been set in Turkey-EU relations and the EU has not been able to escape the search for useless sanctions.
This situation, he notes, is disastrous for the common interests of Turkey and the EU, as well as for peace, security and stability in the region.
It rejects, as it maintains, the discriminatory and illegal attitude especially with regard to Cyprus, yes. Mediterranean, Aegean and other regional issues that “we know that a large part of the EU does not support, which had to be included in the final text of the conclusions of the EU Summit, under the pressure of the veto and solidarity”.
Turkey, the announcement continues, has always expressed its readiness to start exploratory talks without conditions for the establishment of stability in the region despite the provocative steps of Greece.
Turkey and the TRNC have shown good intentions and have been committed to all constructive and positive initiatives since 2004 to bring hydrocarbons into the. Mediterranean to become an element of stability and not a source of tension.
In this text, the EU once again ignored the will of the T / C people who are co-owners of the island of Cyprus and pledged to impose “EC administration” in relation to the Cyprus issue and the closure of Varos. The EU must abandon the behavior of obstructing the solution of the Cyprus problem in order to achieve a viable, just and permanent solution to the Cyprus problem.
The healthiest solution is a TC-EC partnership to begin with the equitable distribution of hydrocarbons and the distribution of profits.
A regional conference on yes. The Mediterranean is an opportunity in this regard.
We will continue to protect the rights and prerogatives of our country and the TC.
Immigration categories in Greece and the EU
The statement read: “The rejection of immigrants from Greece and FRONTEX’s involvement in this is a disgrace to the EU.
It is a shame for the EU that Greece is returning immigrants to the Aegean Sea and that Frontex is involved in these actions. It is not possible to speak of responsible management of migratory flows without stopping these violations and group deportation practices, which are serious human rights violations and are strongly condemned by the international community. The EU must show its sensitivity in the management of immigration not in our country, but in Greece, in particular, in the systematization of the inhumane treatment of asylum seekers.
It would be in our common interest to start talks, unconditionally, on updating the issues that make up the Turkey-EU agreement of March 18, but without converting these issues into terms for other issues. This will also serve to overcome the common challenges we face in Europe and beyond.
“As we have always said, the EU must take on the role of an honest ombudsman, it must act on principles, strategy and logic.”
Meanwhile, today’s editions of the Turkish media outperformed the decisions in Brussels. Most of the headlines have almost the same title
THE Hurriyet claims that the EU leaders’ summit did not make any decision on sanctions in Turkey.
THE Yeni safak notes that the EU leaders’ summit did not make any decisions on sanctions in Turkey. Greece returned empty-handed from the EU leaders’ summit in Brussels. The final text of the conclusions affirms that “the EU wants to give an opportunity to the dialogue with Turkey”
Milliet in his title he writes that “Greece went crazy – They didn’t get what they wanted” and A humber “No decision on the sanctions adopted in Turkey by the summit of EU leaders”
THE Σοζτζού reports that “EU leaders did not decide on sanctions against Turkey” and T24 that the EU decided to extend the list to Turkish companies and citizens – The hardest steps were left for March.
