On Wednesday, referring to the report on the progress of the countries that want to join the European Union, Die Welt newspaper wrote that the European Commission has announced that the negotiations on Turkey's accession to the European Union are at an impasse.
The report on Turkey is very critical. "The accession negotiations with Turkey are at a dead end as before. Turkey has not changed the negative trend of joining the European Union. "There is a serious setback in the spheres of democracy, the rule of law, basic rights, and independence of the judicial system," the report says.
Moreover, it is noted that "dialogue on these issues remains an inseparable part of EU-Turkey relations."
