The Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the European Commission's 2026 Türkiye report as biased and unfair. It was stated in the report that references were made to the independence of the judiciary, freedom of expression, the absolute nullity of the CHP, the trusteeship of Halk TV and TELE1, and the ECHR decisions regarding Osman Kavala. Türkiye's compliance with EU foreign policy was shown as 4 percent. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the facilities of Greece and the Greek Cypriot side were ignored and that it was not possible to contribute to the solution efforts on the Cyprus issue. In the positive sections of the report, the progress in Türkiye's economic and monetary policies, the expectation of updating the Customs Union and its defense-security role were emphasized.
