Vice President of the German Bundestag Johannes Singhammer called on the European Union to temporarily prevent the financial assistance provided for the democratization of Turkey, Armenpress reports, referring to Turkish Anadolu agency.
Singhammer said recently the democratization process in Turkey doesn’t achieve progress, therefore, at this moment to provide money is not appropriate.
During 2007-2014 the EU provided 5 billion 400 million Euro aid to Turkey, from which 1 billion Euro was provided by Germany. It is expected to provide additional 4 billion 45 million Euro to Turkey until 2020.
