European Council’s declaration lacks the elements to create the environment of dialogue and cooperation that could solve the issues on the relations, according to Erdoğan. Even though the Turkish gov’t’s goodwill, the EU obeyed Greece’s and Cypriot government’s pressures and threats, and the interests of Europe should not be sacrificed some of the member states of the EU and their inconsiderable interests, Erdoğan claimed.
