The European Parliament has adopted a resolution that criticizes Turkey for its human rights record and alleged violations of the sovereignty of Greece and Cyprus. The resolution, which passed with a significant majority, explicitly rejects the "unfreezing" of Turkey's accession negotiations with the European Union. The decision is deemed a setback for Turkey at a time when EU enlargement policies are gaining momentum, highlighting concerns over Turkey's democratic practices.
In response, Turkey's Foreign Ministry has vehemently rejected the European Parliament report, labeling it as "biased" and constructed on ideological grounds. Officials in Ankara have criticized the report as a misrepresentation of the realities in Turkey and have accused European lawmakers of politicizing the issue rather than approaching it with an objective stance. Turkish officials maintain that the report fails to consider the complexities of the situation, particularly regarding the Aegean Sea and Cyprus.
