Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has stated that Europe’s
political and security architecture cannot be complete without
Türkiye, AzerNEWS reports.
In a statement released on the occasion of Europe Day on May 9,
the Turkish president described the day as “a concrete
manifestation of the goal of building a shared future based on
peace, cooperation, and mutual respect.”
Erdoğan stressed that Türkiye’s European Union accession process
remains strategically important and argued that the EU’s need for
Türkiye is greater than Türkiye’s need for the bloc.
He also pointed to the growing challenges facing the European
Union, including geopolitical conflicts, economic instability, and
political crises affecting the global order.
“Wars, political crises, and economic problems whose effects are
felt globally require the European Union to pursue more inclusive
and unifying policies,” Erdoğan added.
According to him, Türkiye, as an EU candidate country, remains
one of the key and irreplaceable elements of this process.
