In other words, it is the thinking of the leaders of the EU countries, the opinion of the senior leadership. The will that will be there is binding for us, and we will reveal our own will. We know what we will do. EU should give up on confusion. All the conditions are present today to ensure that relations with Turkiye to be carried out on a more healthy ground. Instead of criticizing Turkiye, they should look at themselves. Turkiye has not lost anything from its vision of being a member of the EU family, but the EU is experiencing a confusion at this point.”

It was the same before the EU process, it will be like that all the time.”
