Erdogan asks EU to relaunch membership talks for Turkey

https://www.turkishminute.com/2022/03/23/erdogan-asks-eu-to-relaunch-membership-negotiations/

Excerpt:

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday asked the European Union to relaunch talks for Turkey to eventually become an EU member, on the eve of a summit focused on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Agence France-Presse reported.

The Turkish president’s comments come as the war in Ukraine allows Ankara to return to the international stage by offering its services as a mediator in the conflict.

“We expect the EU to open quickly the chapters of the membership negotiations and to start negotiations on a customs union without yielding to cynical calculations,” Erdoğan said after talks with visiting Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

Negotiations for Turkey’s accession one day to the 27-nation EU, which began in 2005, have stalled in recent years over tensions between the two sides, with the EU accusing Turkey of moving away from the rule-of-law and other values on which the bloc is founded.

Relations between Turkey and the EU worsened sharply after the July 2016 attempted coup.

The EU has often criticized the crackdown and the attacks on freedom of speech which followed the failed putsch, in which tens of thousands of people have been arrested including journalists.

The EU and Turkey had agreed a deal in March 2016 worth billions of euros in which Turkey would take back migrants in exchange for visa liberalization, which has yet to be introduced for Turks….

If Turkey becomes a member of the EU, Europe as we have known it will be definitively over. But everyone in the EU leadership who knows anything about Turkey’s historic relationship to Europe, or about the political and cultural implications of even more mass Muslim migration into Europe, has already been silenced as an “Islamophobe.” Expect Turkey to get in. And then watch what happens.-Robert Spencer

If this comes to pass then Europe as we know it will die within our lifetime due to the savage invasion.

AFAIC Europe has been Dead for quite some time, i guess the smell of decay coming from there has been mistaken as a sign of some sort of gangrenous form of life.
