EUCO Pres: Deep Worries On Rule Of Law, But We Extend Hand To Turkey

EU

Comments from European Council President Charles Michel after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan:

  • "The Rule of law and respect of fundamental rights are core values of the EU. We shared with President Erdogan our deep worries on the latest developments in Turkey in this respect. Turkey's withdrawal from the Istanbul convention has raised concern in Europe. Dialogue remains an essential part of our EU-Turkey relationship."
  • "The EU has a strategic interest in developing a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship with Turkey. At the same time, we are determined to defend EU and Member States' interests and to promote our values."
  • "We extend our hand with our progressive agenda. It's up to Turkey to seize this opportunity in a solid and sustainable manner. For its part, EU is ready to walk the talk. We will assess progress at our European Council meeting in June."
