Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has stated that the prospect of joining the European Union remains the strategic goal of his country. He expressed this position at the press conference held after negotiations with the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen in Ankara.
"Membership in the European Union remains a strategic goal for Turkey, it is clear that our membership in the EU will be an important investment for both the Union and our country.
The main agenda of our current negotiations was the general steps that could be taken to revitalize the relations between Turkey and the EU. We expect that the EU will present a new vision that will strengthen Turkey's membership prospects," Erdogan said.
