The President of the European Council Charles Michel stated that Turkey has not chosen positive agenda the EU27 offered and now the EU condemns the recent unilateral action in the Eastern Mediterranean, provocations and rhetoric which are completely unacceptable, warning to revert on the issue in December.

More specifically the President of the European Council addressing the Press after the EU27 videoconference stated the following: “I would like to mention Turkey, because we mentioned Turkey today, and as you know we had in October a strategic debate in the Eastern Mediterranean and relationship with Turkey.

“We expressed our determination to be respected and agreed to work on two tracks a positive track and less positive one”, he recalled.

“We offered a clear way to work towards a positive agenda to Turkey, so far Turkey has not chosen this path and we condemn the recent unilateral action in the Eastern Mediterranean, provocations and rhetoric which are completely unacceptable”, Charles Michel stressed.

“We will have the occasion to revert to this topic in December”, the President concluded.
