Josep Borel is trying to draw the EU's attention to the deepening of relations between Russia and Turkey. The European Union is concerned that Turkey is cultivating a very close partnership with Russia - despite the Russians' aggressive war in Ukraine and harsh Western sanctions against Moscow.
The deepening economic relations between Turkey and Russia is "a cause for great concern," according to a letter from EU foreign policy envoy Josep Borel to the European Parliament, cited by Funke Mediengruppe. Turkey's continued policy of "not joining the EU's restrictive measures against Russia" is also worrying.
"Turkey not to offer Russia workarounds"
According to the report, Borel pointed out that the EU and Turkey are a customs union and therefore provide free movement of goods, which includes "dual-use" goods.
That is, goods that can be used for political and military purposes. It is important that Turkey does not offer Russia workarounds, Borel warned.
