Turkey to start multiple EU chapters

Opening one negotiation chapter with Turkey during each six-month rotating presidency of theEuropean Union is not acceptable, Turkish EU Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has said, ahead of a key official visit to Germany. 

Çavuşoğlu said that such slow progress would mean that Turkey can only become an EU member within a decade at the earliest. “Chapters 23 and 24 [judiciary and fundamental rights; and justice, freedom and security] are very important and we want chapters related to the judiciary, security and freedom to be opened. As a matter of fact, EU countries also want this, but Greek Cyprus has blocked these two chapters. These should be lifted,” he said.
