The EU and Türkiye: A relationship adrift

By Centre for European Reform

A plethora of disagreements haunt EU-Türkiye relations. Without a positive vision, things may only get worse. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has revived EU enlargement. European leaders often talk about enlargement as a ‘geopolitical necessity’. However, the rhetoric on enlargement never extends to Türkiye: Ankara’s accession process ground to a halt soon after it started in 2005 and was formally frozen by the EU in 2018. For a time, it seemed as if Russia’s invasion could also revive EU-Türkiye relations, which had been in a downward spiral for over a decade. But the promise of change was short-lived.
