EU leaders Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk met President Erdoğan on May 25 in an effort to rebuild ties amid tensions over Turkey's EU accession and human rights, Hurriyet reports.
"EU and Turkey must and will work together," a spokesman for Juncker said in a tweet as talks began.
In heated remarks, Erdoğan on the eve of the meeting said it was up to Brussels to decide if it wanted Turkey as a member of the bloc.
