After elections in Turkey, the EU will have to revamp the concept of transactionalism in the relationship by adding principles and values, and explore variable geometries Europe to the fullest. Read more in the Policy Brief by Funda Tekin and Ebru Turhan.

The winds of continuity are blowing through Turkey. Extending its rule to a third decade, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was re-elected as Turkey’s president after a tight race on 28 May 2023, while the AKP-led People’s Alliance garnered 322 out of 600 seats in the parliament.

Assoc. Prof. Dr Ebru Turhan and Dr Funda Tekin address the question what the likely consequences of the election results for EU-Turkey relations are and what kind of a Turkey policy should the European actors pursue in this ‘new’ era.
