Good exchange with @TOBBiletisim @RHisarciklioglu @AyhanZeytinoglu on a reinforced EU-Türkiye agenda on trade, people-to-people, migration and security.

A strategic and forward-looking approach is in our mutual interest. Reforms and improved alignment with EU positions are key.

The High Representative and the Commission will submit in November a report to the Council on the state of play of 🇪🇺-🇹🇷relations, building on the instruments and options identified by the European Council and with a view to proceeding in a strategic and forward-looking manner.

[EU-Turkey Forum @EUTurkeyForum]

Today, the Commission adopted the 2023 Enlargement package, recommending to:
- open negotiations with 🇺🇦 Ukraine and 🇲🇩 Moldova
- granting candidate status to 🇬🇪 Georgia
- initiating accession talks with 🇧🇦 BiH once the required compliance is achieved.

#EUEnlargement2023

[EU-Turkey Forum @EUTurkeyForum]

Accession negotiations with #Türkiye remain at a standstill since 2018.

The country has not reversed the negative trend of moving away from the European Union, and it pursued accession related reforms to a limited degree.

[EU-Turkey Forum @EUTurkeyForum]

As #Türkiye commemorates its centennial, it's crucial to acknowledge the enduring bonds with Europe. A century of shared history, culture, and collaborations has contributed to a dynamic relationship. May the next century strengthen these ties for mutual growth and understanding.

[Nacho Sánchez Amor @NachoSAmor]

Cumhuriyetin 100. Yılı kutlu olsun Türkiye!!

As @Europarl_EN Rapporteur on #Türkiye, I wish to convey my sincere congratulations to the Turkish people on such a special day and my wholehearted wish that this new century will bring more prosperity and democracy to all!

🇹🇷🎉🇹🇷🎉

[Nacho Sánchez Amor @NachoSAmor]

The #EP 2022 Report on #Türkiye has just been approved by the @Europarl_EN with a large support. Our message is clear: if 🇹🇷 wants to revive the 🇪🇺 accession process, we need clear, concrete ACTIONS, not words!
