Sultan Erdogan presents itself on the EU Turkey Summit in Varna as a magnificent Democrat
The 26. Marz of each year is committed in Bulgaria as a Thracian Day. The Bulgarian commemorates him of the storm of the fortress Odrin (today Turk. Edirne), the on 26. Marz 1913 finished the first Balkan war in favor of Bulgaria. At the same time, they are painfully reminiscent of the few months later defeat in the second Balkan war, the hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians to escape from their ancestral settlement areas in the Ten Turkish region of East Thrakia forced and tens of thousands of people.
Ironically, the historically burdened 26. Marz 2018 invited Bulgaria’s Minister Prosident Boiko Borissov the Turkish State President Recep Tayyip Erdogan into the Bulgarian Black Sea Capital Varna. At a dinner in the former Tsarenschloss Euxinograd, he should discuss the hazardous relations between Turkey and the European Union with the EU leaders Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk.
In the center of Varnas destroyed descendants of the former Thracical escape towers against the visit of the "Sultan’s Erdogan" On the Thrace day. Your head of government Borissov threw a lack of historical sensitivity. The organization of the Thracian Bulgarians for many years demand in vain for billions in billions for the real estate referred to by their ancestors in East Thrace. He will discuss the topic with Erdogan, secured Borissov and immediately explained that he wool the Varnaer summit does not load historical ies of Bulgarian-Turkish relations. These are to be discussed in a bilaterally occupied working group. In fact, there has been such since 2009, but since 2013, it has not come together.
As Bulgaria’s government at the end of last year presented the semi-annual plan for its EU Council Prassidence, it was a West Balkan Summit for mid-May 2018, but no appointment for Turkey. Only as Turkish media criticized the disregard of their land and pointed out, after all, the Turkey had been official EU candidate since 1999, Bulgaria’s Premier Borissov initiated the Varna Summit between the EU and Turkey. EU Commission Sprasident Juncker and EU-Council President Tusk could only be able to penetrate their meetings with the Autocrat Erdogan at the end of last week.
Junckers and Tusks decorate Beredter expression for the tackling of the ratio between the EU and Turkey. It has not only suffered by the catastrophic deterioration of the local human rights situation in the episode of the Pututschpruch from the summer of 2016, but is constantly being strained again by Erdogan’s outpolitic provocations. "It’s like a bad marriage that you can not divorce, you live in disilus, but still has common interests", Commented this Gerald Knaus. He has contributed with his European stability initiative (ESI) with the creation of the escape agreement with Turkey.
Erdogan: The EU Soll mt does not criticize the Turkey
Turkey is a human rights respected rule of law asserted Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the press conference according to the Varna Summit and demanded that the EU should not criticize his country. In view of thousands of illegal imprisoned judges, prosecutors, journalists and opposition politicians, Erdogan’s description of Turkey as a constitutional state sounds as cynical as his name of the Turkish militar operations against Syrian Kurds as "Fight against terrorism". According to Erdogan, Turkey still strives for the full membership in the EU, his autocratic volunteer and his undamaged irredort rhetoric, however, appear as unrealistic.
The territorial eligibility of Turkey and Greece regulating Treaty of Lausanne of 1923 was revision-sensitive, explained Erdogan at the beginning of December 2017 at his state visit to Athens. On the 11th. Marz 2018 said Erdogan on a party event, the "Mental boundaries of Turkey" ranged to Kardschali, which is today a city populated by ethnic Turken in the Southeast Bulgaria.
About the verbalattacks Ankara was last again; Thus disabled Turkish military ships gas strain bores in Cypriot territories and two Greek boundary soldiers who advised against a poor view of Turkish territory are held in Turkey until today. Immediately after the Varnaer EU Turkey Summit, Turkish fighter aircraft penetrates repeatedly in the Greek airspace.
The fact that Donald Tusk and Jean-Claud Juncker could ultimately decide to rendezvous with Erdogan in Varna can be considered friendly gesture to the Bulgarian head of government. Boiko Borissov belongs to the conservative European People’s Party (EPP), but has proved itself as a harmonious-friendly populist in his government trading since the summer of 2009. He puts less emphasis on principles loyalty in his sub-political relations than to be good friend with his talk partners.
In the neighborly ratio to Erdogan Turkey, he is not so much about the local human rights situation or the military attack against the Syrian Kurds, but above all the national interest of Bulgaria. This sees Borissov assisted in it as long as his friend "Taipi" Erdogan the refugees on Turkish territory does not send over the border with Bulgaria.
Juncker: Supporting the escape is the solidarity of Turkey with the EU
On the MaRna Summit Summit Mining Conference thanked EU Council’s President Donald Tusk of Turkey that they protect the more than three million escape lingings on their territory. The EU continued to support Turkey’s support and implement the escape of the escape agreement together, explained Tusk. Finally, he resumed the Varner meeting in critical words. In the contentious ies of human rights, the Turkish militar operations, the fall in Agais and the detainees of European burger "neither solutions nor compromises has been achieved". Nevertheless, so he hope, the mutual partnership continued.
Of the € 3 billion promised € 3 billion to support the escape of the flight in Turkey so far only € 1.8 billion has been paid, complained of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He hopes an additional tranche of € 3 billion will help to facilitate the life of the escape in Turkey.
Turkish prasident demanded progress in the customs union and an early resumption of EU accession negotiations. "The EU states are our strategic partners and it would be a mistake, they were isolating the turkey, because we are a dynamic country with a young population and have permanent economic relationships", said Erdogan.
Certainly diplomatically thanked EU Commission’s Prospective Jean-Claude Juncker Erdogan for Dafur that the number of escapeons that came from Turkey to Europe has reduced 87%. This shows the Turkish Republic their solidarity with the EU. Bulgaria’s Minister Prosident Boiko Borissov exhibited a wedding out, but still within the framework of the Bulgarian EU Council Prosident, which last until the end of June 2018, can lead to another summit between the EU and Turkey.
Borissov received sharp criticism from the socialist opposition. Kornelia Ninova, chairman of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), requested a publication of the stenograms of the speech on the Varna summit. Then it becomes clear that there were no concrete results and progress in any of the contentious question, not in the dispute with Greece, not at the "Cyprus question", not with the EU accession amount of Turkey and also not in the ie of relief in the Visa regime for the Turkish burgers while traveling in the EU and not at the demand for the deficit for the Thracian Bulgarians.
