Merkel wants to discuss Turkey at EU summit

Chancellor Angela Merkel wants to discuss with the other EU leaders Saturday in Brussels how the EU should deal with Ankara.

'With wisdom and clarity, we must consider what measures we think appropriate at any time,' said Merkel, who criticized the circumstances in which the referendum on power expansion for President Erdogan took place on April 16. 'But it is in the EU's or Turkey's interest not to reverse each other. '

On Friday, Turkey is also a subject of discussion at an informal meeting of foreign ministers in Malta. The European Parliament has called for a formal suspension of negotiations with Turkey on accession, which for some time has halted.
