EU Commissioner Kos warns Turkey's repression undermines EU accession path

European Commission Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, issued a harsh report criticizing Turkey's suppression of opposition, media, and LGBTIQ+ community, stating it moves Ankara away from EU membership. The report signals a hardening EU stance on Turkey's accession process, though it remains unclear if this will lead to formal suspension of talks. This matters as it could further strain EU-Turkey relations and affect regional diplomacy.
