The European Council has expressed its deep concern regarding Turkey’s recent rhetoric and actions, in a paragraph on the Eastern Mediterranean in its conclusions adopted Thursday in Brussels.
Paragraph 28 of the conclusions contains no changes to the draft that was developed in previous days. The text, as published, says that “the European Council expressed deep concern about recent repeated actions and statements by Turkey. Turkey must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all EU Member States. Recalling its previous conclusions and the statement of 25 March 2021, the European Council expects Turkey to fully respect international law, to de-escalate tensions in the interest of regional stability in the Eastern Mediterranean, and to promote good neighbourly relations in a sustainable way”.
