The leader of Turkey, a candidate to join the European Union, said the bloc was trying to “break away” from his country. He also noted that the state will “evaluate events.”

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his country could “break” with the European Union if such a need arises. He made this statement in response to a critical report of the European Parliament.

Turkey has been a candidate for EU membership for 24 years

The report states that the process of Turkey's accession to the bloc cannot resume under current circumstances. It also calls for the European Union to explore a “parallel and realistic framework” for ties with Ankara.

Turkey has been an official EU candidate for 24 years, but accession negotiations have stalled in recent years . The reason for this was the European Union's concern regarding violations of human rights and respect for the rule of law.

The EU is trying to break away from Turkey. “We will evaluate these events, and if necessary, we can break with the EU,” the Turkish President said.
