Govt ally urges EU not to keep Türkiye at door

Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahçeli has made a strong plea for Türkiye's EU membership, urging the European Union not to keep the country on the sidelines. Bahçeli, an ally of the current government, expressed concern over the EU's reluctance to fully embrace Türkiye, highlighting the strategic importance of the nation's role in regional stability and security. This push comes amid ongoing discussions about Türkiye's potential membership, with Bahçeli arguing that exclusion undermines both European and Turkish interests.
