VARNA, Bulgaria (Reuters) - European Union leaders said talks with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Monday offered no answers to a long list of concerns including over Turkey's intervention in Syria and the jailing of journalists at home.

Despite criticism from European governments of what many view as Erdogan's growing authoritarianism, EU leaders left the door open to Turkey's stalled bid for membership to the bloc, but said only he could act to remove the obstacles to accession.

Took the words right out of my mouth. The reason it is still “sick” and continues to “sicken” : One word—Islam, the false premise and false religion that continues to destroy everything it touches, similar to the RAT party and liberalism. It is noteworthy that the RAT party never has a bad word to say about Islam and its adherents. The Saracens will never go away until the Lord returns.

Silly EUcrats, you got an “answer” loud and clear, a big “F.U.” from Dictator Erdogan.
