Reaction from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the EU report: We reject it

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry rejected the European Commission’s latest Turkey Report, saying it refuses the report’s political assessments. The ministry issued a sharp response to the EU Commission’s country report on Turkey, which covers political and accession-related evaluations. The rejection signals continued friction between Ankara and Brussels over how the EU characterizes Turkey’s governance and reform record. The dispute matters because the Commission’s annual report feeds into EU decisions on Turkey’s accession process and broader bilateral ties. Watch for official EU reactions and whether the standoff affects upcoming Turkey-EU dialogue, including visa facilitation, customs union modernization and funding discussions.
