EU-Turkey ties at ‘watershed moment’

The EU’s diplomatic chief yesterday said relations between the bloc and Turkey were at a sensitive turning point and urged leaders to decide on the way forward.

Josep Borrell delivered his warning as tensions rise with Turkey over energy interests in the eastern Mediterranean that have even sparked fears of military conflict.

“Relations with Turkey are... at a watershed moment in history and... will go one side or the other, depending what’s going to happen in the next days,” Borrell told a session of the European Parliament in Brussels.
