Erdogan wants new chapters in consultation EU

ankara - Turkish President Erdogan states that the European Union opens new chapters in the accession talks with its country. If the EU does not do this, nothing else is going to be discussed and Turkey says 'tabee'.

Erdogan responded to statements by euro commissioner Johannes Hahn, which deals with accession matters. Hahn said that Turkey had undermined the EU under Erdogan.

'From now on there is no option other than opening the chapters that you have not yet opened. Do not do this, then taboo, 'Erdogan said during a ceremony around his renewed membership of the AK party.

The chapters refer to policy areas in which Turkey must adopt European rules. In the accession consultation 35 chapters were appointed, since since the talks began in 2005, only sixteen have been opened and only one has been closed.
