The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs refers to the European Commission's report on Turkey for 2026: - We reject the unfounded claims contained in the report, in particular regarding political standards, the legal system and fundamental rights. The report reflects a biased and unfair attitude towards our country, and an approach based on double standards - the report adopts the theses of Greece and the Greek side of Cyprus, and ignores the legitimate rights and interests of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. - We consider assessments regarding Turkey's economic and monetary progress and competitiveness to be important. Turkey-EU relations should be based on common interests and a long-term vision, far from narrow political calculations. We expect the EU to turn the dialogue into concrete decisions that will strengthen the prospects for our membership in it.
