Turkish business group calls for EU reset
The Foreign Economic Relations Board of Türkiye (DEİK) has stepped up efforts to revive Türkiye’s European Union membership agenda, calling on both European capitals and Ankara to rebuild momentum behind full accession.
DEİK has launched a public diplomacy campaign after support for EU membership in Türkiye fell to around 50 percent, according to the group. It aims to help raise the level of support to 75-80 percent by the end of the year.
The campaign began with a full-page advertisement in the Financial Times in January, followed by open letters and newspaper ads in several European countries, including Germany, Poland and Belgium.
Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and France are expected to follow.
