French President Supports EU Ties with Turkey

The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, commented on Thursday that the Turkey is essentially part of the European Union and sustain its diplomatic relationships despite its distressing problems as of lately. This comment from Macron supports the recent speech of German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the membership with E.U. particularly referring to Turkey which is deemed to be terminated.

Macron mentioned that Turkey has been distant with the European Union in the past months and has “overstepped” their actions which pertain to the customs union that cannot be disregarded. Despite this complication, he described the country to be a “vital partner” as he is against the disunity as they all confront problems concerning immigration policy and terrorist threats.
