How to Thaw a Frozen Relationship: 4 Ways to Improve EU-Turkey Ties
Written by @Eubulletin | Thursday, July 27th, 2017
The EU-Turkey relationship has gone through many ups and downs during the last 50 years. While Turkey has become a strategic partner for the EU who is still formally engaged in its accession talks, the developments in the last four years have caused numerous cracks and frictions in the relationship.
