Erdogan to EU: Do Not Serve Racism!

He said, “I have a call to political parties which exploit the issue of Turkey. The thing you are doing is not right! Spreading a negative stance against Turkey, by using a populist rhetoric, serves only racism and those who aim at triggering the clash between civilizations.

“Do discuss Turkey but be objective. Do not spread prejudice and misinformation. Do not sacrifice honesty, to short-term achievement hopes. Our objective is to commence talks with EU at the soonest. We took very serious harmonization steps. I hope that these steps find a response.
