ALBAWABA - President Erdoğan's recent statements regarding Turkey's relationship with the European Union have resonated across the global media landscape.
As he embarked on his journey to attend the 78th United Nations General Assembly in the United States, Erdoğan's comments made during a press conference at Atatürk Airport before his departure have garnered significant international attention.
Erdoğan remarked, "In this period when the European Union is actively seeking to distance itself from Turkey, we will carefully assess the developments, and if deemed necessary, we won't hesitate to take separate paths from the European Union." These words swiftly made their way to "breaking news" status on major international news agencies.
CNN Greece, a prominent news outlet based in the United States, ran the headline, "Erdoğan Warns Brussels: We May Choose Different Roads."
Their report underscored Erdoğan's dissatisfaction with the European Parliament's report on Turkey and his stern caution to Brussels, suggesting that Ankara might consider alternative paths if circumstances dictate.
In Scandinavia, the statements made by President Erdoğan received close scrutiny, with discussions in the media revolving around Sweden's potential NATO membership.
Oslo-based Dagsavisen featured President Erdoğan's comments regarding Turkey's relationship with the EU, using the phrase "Turkey has the option to disengage from the EU" in their coverage.
