Dear Sir or Madam,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please find below our current newsletter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kind regards <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairperson <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Review of 2025 – Outlook for 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdullah \u00d6calan’s freedom is essential for the transformation of the dialogue process into a sustainable process for peace and a democratic society. Adequate pressure on Turkey to create the legal and political framework conditions and intensive support for the process on the part of the European Union are also essential. In this context, removing the PKK from the list of terrorist organisations is a necessary step that should be implemented promptly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As EUTCC, we will continue to monitor developments concerning the European Union, Turkey, and the Kurds critically and constructively in the future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statement by Nacho Sanchez Amor, the European Parliament’s standing rapporteur on Turkey, after his visit between 3 and 7 December 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is sad to see Turkish authorities\u2019 unwillingness to take well-known steps to address the situation of rule of law and judiciary independence in the country. Due to multiple reasons, the EU\u2019s enlargement policy has regained new momentum, but T\u00fcrkiye is missing this window of opportunity. The Turkish accession process will not revive by the opening of chapters but by the respect to ECtHR and CC rulings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We regard this declaration as a historic step taken on the path to lasting peace and call on all parties to fulfil their responsibilities. We are determined to follow the progress of the process and to maintain our hope for a transition to a democratic and inclusive society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
