EU representatives appealed to Turkish officials to take a more decisive stance towards Russia, which launched an unprovoked war against Ukraine. In particular, we are talking about strict compliance with EU sanctions against the Russian Federation.. This was stated by the Member of the European Commission for Enlargement and Neighborhood Policy Oliver Varhelyi.

According to Teletrader, during his speech at the European Parliament, the official praised the Turkish government for its positive participation in the negotiation process between Ukraine and Russia, but stressed that the country's position on EU sanctions against Russia should be clearer..

“We welcome the constructive role of Turkey in the de-escalation of the conflict. At the same time, we continue to urge Turkey to take a stronger stance that is more in line with that of the EU.. We call on Turkey to be more vigilant when it comes to preventing circumvention of sanctions against Russia,” Varheli said..
