Italian ambassador: EU needs Türkiye more than Türkiye needs it

Dunya - Italian Ambassador to Ankara Carlo Marsili said Europe can only be a global actor with Türkiye’s membership. In an interview with Star daily, Marsili stated, “A person only needs to spend 48 hours in Türkiye to understand that the historic prejudices in Europe are baseless.” He added, “Europe does not have the luxury of giving up Türkiye. Even Türkiye’s candidacy has contributed a lot to the Union. The EU needs Türkiye more than Türkiye needs it.”
