Verheugen attacks EU’s approach on Turkey

theparliament.com

"The EU must change tack on Turkey or risk a breakdown of the current accession negotiations, Günter Verheugen has warned.

“Europe sends Turkey almost exclusively negative signals,” the European commissioner told the ‘Bild am Sontag’ newspaper.

“We are focusing on the country’s weaknesses and not encouraging them to change. This is feeding into a growing reluctance in Turkey to achieve the reforms we are calling for.”"
