President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called on the European Union to explicitly say if it does not want Ankara as a full member, describing German politicians’ "anti-Turkey stances" as an implementation of "Nazism and fascism," Hurriyet reports.
"We want EU bodies and European countries to be sincere and real in their policies on Turkey. Take this decision as soon as possible. If you cannot tolerate the current shape of Turkey’s relationship with the EU, then declare [an end to it] and do it bravely. That will help everyone see your real face," Erdogan said.
