Turkey no longer expects anything from the European Union, at whose door it has been waiting for 40 years, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today.

"We have fulfilled all the promises we made to the European Union, but they are almost gone," Erdogan told the inaugural session of the Turkish parliament, adding that he would not tolerate new demands or conditions in the accession process.

"If they do not back down regarding some injustices such as the introduction of visas, which they use as latent sanctions, if they do not correct their mistakes... From our side, they will completely lose the right to express political, social, economic and military expectations," he warned. he.

"If the European Union intends to stop the accession process that exists only on paper, it will be their decision," he added.
