The Yetkin Report analyzes the reasons behind the failure of Turkey's negotiations for full EU membership spanning over 50 years: deep structural differences between Ankara and Brussels in the areas of rule of law, human rights and political criteria, as well as the inconsistent positions of EU member states regarding Turkey. The report demonstrates that it is not merely a technical matter, but rather a divergence in values and governance understanding between the two sides that has frozen the process.
The stalling of EU membership continues to incur costs for Turkey in terms of economic integration, trade facilitation and international credibility. The report indicates that unless comprehensive reforms deemed necessary for progress are implemented, the likelihood of the situation changing in the near term is low.
