Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The American newspaper "Politico" wrote in a report that despite the new developments and the re-preparedness of the European Union leaders to cooperate with Turkey, the country's attempt to exchange its agreement on Sweden's joining the NATO alliance with membership in the union Europe has "no chance" of success.
In the introduction of the report of this American newspaper, it is stated: The new turn we saw this week from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the latest round of the "geopolitical abyss" policy started by him; A clear sign of adopting this policy was that Erdogan linked his support for Sweden's attempt to join the NATO alliance with Turkey's request to join the European Union!
Al-Mayadeen continued to write: While this change of Erdogan's position was described as a "bold and surprising move" by international observers, Politico writes that "there is no chance that Turkey's accession to the European Union will happen soon."
Earlier in a report, Al-Mayadeen pointed to the change in Erdogan's position and wrote in his analysis that Erdogan's agreement to join Sweden in the NATO alliance indicates slow but noticeable changes in Turkey's foreign policy, and the analysis shows that Ankara's relations with Moscow and Washington will change. ; This trend of Ankara playing NATO means moving away from Moscow and getting closer to Washington.
The American newspaper continues its report: Many leaders and officials of the European Union presented a general and detailed proposal for serious consideration of Erdogan's request. They recently pledged to explore ways to revive Turkey's dying case for EU accession; and in the meantime, have closer cooperation with this country so that the issue of Ankara joining is seen as a serious possibility. But in fact, "Turkey's membership in the European Union was almost immediately ignored" and this issue was able to show the fact that there are many reasons for rejecting this membership in the ranks of the opposition.
The Politico report continues: However, the European Union knows that it must cooperate with Turkey, which is an important neighbor and a bridge to Russia, Asia and the Middle East. While Ankara's membership in the European Union is not on the table, its officials are thinking in which areas they can cooperate more with Turkey; This is what Erdogan considers a victory.
According to Politico's analysis, "it would be good if Turkey's accession to the EU moves forward, which is unlikely." This American newspaper quoted a former European Commission official as saying: "If it doesn't happen, Erdogan will have another reason to fuel nationalism."
The American newspaper wrote about the reasons for Turkey not joining the EU so far: a series of events such as a coup and economic and political instability have delayed the issue of Turkey's integration into the European Union. According to a Turkish official who spoke to us on the condition of anonymity and described the developments bluntly, "if it weren't for those coups, Ankara would probably have become a member of the European Union by now."
