EU has become a very bureaucratic state. If we do not have the necessary security measures in Turkey, Europe will not be safe

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has said slow decisions and bureaucracy are among the chief problems plaguing the European Union.


In an interview with London’s Evening Standard on Monday, Yildirim said: “The main problem with the EU is it has become a very bureaucratic state, instead of a political state.

“High-level officials are running it on behalf of members. So, decision-making on any subject takes much longer and people are exhausted.”

The premier said EU leaders had broken some of their promises to help the 2.2 million Syrian refugees in Turkey and were in “deep confusion” over Turkey’s stalled membership application.

“We saved life, we educate children, we care for them and keep them on our soil.

“Europe should appreciate this and take responsibility for how we can share the load,” he said.

He pointed out that Europe’s safety was tied with Turkey. “The safety of Europe and the security of European people start from Turkey.

“If we do not have the necessary security measures in Turkey, Europe will not be safe,” he said.
