Turkey critical of EU report on country's membership process

EU Commission report overlooks responsibilities towards candidate country, reflects double standard approach: Foreign Ministry

By Ali Murat Alhas

ANKARA (AA) – The Turkish Foreign Ministry on Tuesday slammed the EU Commission's 2021 report on Turkey's membership process, saying it once again reflected the double standard approach towards the country.

The ministry said in a written statement that the report on the enlargement strategy "unfortunately" overlooked responsibilities towards Turkey at a time when the Ankara government revived high-level dialogue with the EU and sought to develop a better political agenda with the bloc.

According to the statement, Turkey rejected the inclusion of "inconsistent and biased" Greek and Greek Cypriot theses in the report, as it did in the previous years.
