The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, has called on Turkey to maintain de-escalation in Eastern Mediterranean and produce tangible results on the ground in relation to the Turkey`s attitude change towards the EU.
According to an EU official who briefed the press, the President welcomed current positive dialogue and stressed the importance to sustainably de-escalate tensions in eastern Mediterranean. In that respect he called on the Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, to refrain from activities that might fuel tensions.
We look forward to progress in the exploratory talks between Turkey and Greece and to the resumption of Cyprus settlement process, the EU official noted. The EC President told FM Cavusoglu that the members of the European Council will again address EU-Turkey relations during the March European Council and repeated the wish to have a constructive relationship with Turkey, adding that they need to see tangible results on the ground.
The President will remain in contact with all parties and welcomes the invitation for a visit to Ankara. The date and format are still to be discussed. The positive agenda could include focus on migration issues, customs union modernization and “high level” sectoral dialogues, the EU official explained.
