Turkey Blasts Austrian Call to Halt Ankara's EU Talks

Turkey Blasts Austrian Call to Halt Ankara's EU Talks
Ankara on Sunday criticized a call by Austria’s new government for a halt to Turkey’s EU accession negotiations, saying it shows a discriminatory attitude that ignores Turkey’s rights.


“This unfortunate and short-sighted statement in Austria’s new government program unfortunately confirms our concerns about a political movement based on discrimination,” said a Foreign Ministry statement.

The Austrian statement is an unfriendly and dishonest attempt to avoid obligations arising out of agreements between the EU and Turkey, the ministry added, also blasting Austria saying it would seek allies to push ending Turkey’s accession talks, Anadolu Agency reported.

This move “ignoring our country’s legitimate rights” also “flouts political and diplomatic morals,” said the ministry.

Austria’s move “tests the boundaries of Turkey’s friendship” and, if put into practice, will lead to a decisive response, the ministry said.
