site.btaTurkish Foreign Ministry Rejects European Parliament Report on Turkiye

The Turkish Foreign Ministry on Wednesday rejected the European Parliament’s 2025 report on Turkiye as baseless and misleading.

The ministry posted a statement on its official website rejecting the report on the country’s progress and dismissing allegations against the justice minister that Ankara said were included in the document.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said the 2025 report on Turkiye, adopted at a European Parliament plenary session on Wednesday, contained assessments based on unfounded claims and disinformation from anti-Turkiye circles and was at odds with the facts.

Turkiye said the report reflected the ideological biases of some Members of the European Parliament and undermined a constructive agenda at a time when the strategic importance of Turkiye-EU relations is growing.

The ministry said the approach, which it said provides space for terrorist organizations and anti-Turkish circles, once again showed how far the European Parliament was from offering a strategic vision for the future of Turkiye-EU relations.

Turkiye also rejected conclusions related to domestic investigations, stressing that the Turkish judiciary is independent.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said it categorically rejected the distortion of investigations carried out by the independent Turkish judiciary and the baseless accusations leveled against the Turkish justice minister.

The statement said Turkiye expects an approach based on shared interests that will help develop relations between Ankara and Brussels.
