They wanna be a part of the EU?
Turkey has been shooting for that for years. The effort stalled after Erdogan and his party got increasingly authoritarian, which the rest of the EU (barring Hungary I guess) really did not like. This was him (hilariously) trying to tie Sweden’s NATO accession to Turkey’s own EU accession, which - besides being absolute nonsense because they’re two entirely separate, albeit largely overlapping geopolitical entities - forced him to do an about-face on that statement roughly 8 hours later.
Haha that's hilarious, thanks for sharing!
