EP Turkey rapporteur Kati Piri answered Turkish President Erdoğan’s comments of “If new chapters with the EU are not opened we will say goodbye” and stated that the negotiations should stop.

Erdoğan spoke after he rejoined AKP yesterday and, calling the EU out, said: “The European Union has no option but to open new chapters for the negotiations. And if you don’t, then bye bye.” Erdoğan’s comments received a response from the EU.

“If Turkey was truly interested in membership, Ankara should have shown this,” said European Parliament Turkey Rapporteur Kati Piri and added that opening a new chapter is “absolutely out of the question”.

Turkey Rapporteur Piri spoke to German Die Welt newspaper and said Turkey’s comments were “blackmail”. Stressing that the European Union will never bow down to blackmail by any country in regards to membership and that goes for Turkey too, Piri said: “Those who want to join the EU have to fulfill the criteria. But I don’t see this at all with Turkey. For this reason, negotiations should stop.”

Adios Erdogan.

I think the EU is through with You.

This is stunningly right wing for the EU. Have you run across any insider articles on how this anti-elite, anti-globalist rhetoric got started?

Think about the would-be Caliph Erdogan the next tume you feel like buying Turkish apricots at Trader Joes or one of so many shirts made in Turkey sold at Target, Kohls and elsewhere. CHECK THE LABELS. Don’t help these Islamic swine increase their might. BOYCOTT TURKEY.

To punish Kurds in Turkey, Erdogan’s henchmen dozed down thousands of fruit trees. So if you boycott apricots from Turkey, you may not be hurting Erdogan.

“Thousands of fruit trees destroyed for ‘security reasons’ in Turkey’s Kurdish region”

This is terrible punishment for disagreeing with Erdogan the Islamist. I have an apricot tree, it takes a long time before they make much fruit. And in Texas late frost hurts the production a lot.
