      Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk: “We Have Always Supported Turkey’s EU Membership”

      Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk expressed his hope that Turkey’s accession process to the European Union (EU) would become a realistic and tangible process. He stated:

      “We have always supported Turkey on this matter, and we will continue to do so.”

      Tusk made these remarks during a joint press conference following his meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the Presidential Complex in Ankara.

      Strong Ties Between Turkey and Poland

      Beginning his speech by extending his wishes for a blessed Ramadan and commemorating the anniversary of Turkey’s National Anthem’s adoption, Tusk emphasized the historical importance of the independence struggles fought by both Turkey and Poland.

      He noted that during his meeting with President Erdoğan, they discussed the solid foundations of cooperation between the two nations in areas such as friendship, defense, and economy.

      Highlighting the long-standing friendship between Turkey and Poland, Tusk stated that the current level of relations is the result of years of dedicated effort.

      Ukraine and Regional Stability

      Tusk underlined the mutual trust between the two countries and acknowledged that both Turkey and Poland are working toward a just peace in Ukraine.

      “We know very well what a just peace means, and we fully agree on this matter,” he stated.

      He also noted that Ankara and Warsaw were pleased with the steps taken by Ukraine and the U.S. in Saudi Arabia.

      Describing the meeting as a turning point, Tusk emphasized that cooperation between these two strong partners continues to grow.

      Defense and Economic Cooperation

      Expressing readiness to advance cooperation in defense, Tusk invited President Erdoğan to visit Warsaw in the near future.

      Regarding economic relations, he noted that Poland aims to increase the trade volume with Turkey to $15 billion, adding that the current volume has already surpassed $12 billion.

      He also stressed that ensuring regional stability remains one of Poland’s main priorities, alongside the reconstruction of Ukraine, which presents opportunities for both Polish and Turkish companies.

      “Turkey’s Role in Syria’s Stability Is Indisputable”

      Tusk highlighted the importance of Turkey’s role in Syria, stating:

      “We are confident that we will engage in joint efforts for Syria’s reconstruction. Turkey’s role in rebuilding Syria and ensuring stability is undeniable.”

      He also touched on Poland’s strong relationship with the U.S. and expressed hope that these joint efforts would gain the support of many partner countries.

      Collaboration on Infrastructure Projects

      Tusk stated that Poland was interested in participating in large-scale infrastructure projects, specifically mentioning plans to collaborate on high-speed rail systems.

      “Turkey is an experienced country in this field, and we want to benefit from this expertise,” he said.

      He concluded by emphasizing the significance of today’s discussions for future cooperation and strengthening relations between Turkey and Poland.

      I’m glad he’s in favor of the accession of our country but didn’t he say lots of bad things back in 2015…

    3. mowitz182 on

      They are a great tradin/defence partner. doubt they will make it into th actual EC..

    4. RudyGreyrat3169 on

      Poland’s views are not important. They also know that Türkiye cannot join the European Union.

    5. Safe_Most_5333 on

      Poland knows it won’t have to deal with the ensuing migrant flow. But it is happy to let germany deal with it.

      Personally I don’t think actual accession should be possible untill the country makes sweeping reforms in its democratic system

      That said, if they don’t want to that, we can still work together more on economic cooperation and trade without actual accession. It can’t be as beneficial as actual membership, but it can be very good for both imo.

    8. OkSituation181 on

      I’d let them join provided they agree to a fair election on arrival. I have no issue with the people of Turkey but Erdogan is as untrustworthy as Putin. He plays both sides by selling both sides weapons in pretty much every conflict

    9. Emirhan_onal on

      I dont think we should even join in EU even if they somehow let us. Good relations and trade would be enough for both sides. We could gain more by being bridge between East and West.

      Scandinavians, Baltic States, Poland, Ukraine and Turkey. A close military cooperation between them would cut Russia off Europe. It’s known as “Intermarium” between Baltic and Black Seas. This alliance is the most important for the Polish strategy in the international relations.

      Tusk is going to say he supports the eu membership of turkey to show that he is a friend not a foe.

    12. krztfrk on

      The most important allies for Poland in the near future should be Sweden, Finland, Ukraine, and Turkey. These allies are determined by geography and actual military power.

    13. Accomplished-Moose50 on

      The problem with that is that Erdogan is probably an Orban 2.0, Turkey would be as predictable as Hungary 

    16. Tom_Ldn on

      Poland can say whatever they don’t run the EU. You need unanimity – as long as Turkey occupies Cyprus it has 0 chance. And that’s even if other countries get along, democratic issues are solved, sanctions are implemented, no countries is afraid of having an EU border with Iran nor mass migration.

    20. molym on

      Lets not fool each other. Turkey will never be in EU or anything close to being a full military partner as long as Cyprus & Greece problems are in the way and Europe is not going to be willing to support Turkey in terms of a military crisis. Turkey knowing that, will never really trust EU.

      In 2015, Turkey shots down Russian fighter jets, that followed Russian embargo on Turkey.

      In 2016, Russian ambassador was assasinated in Turkey.

      In 2020, after Turkey gained a lot of grounds in Syria, Russia killed 30+ Turkish soldiers in Balyun airstrikes.

      So after all these tense years, you would expect Nato/Eu to be behind Turkey right, right? No.

      **On 29 February 2020, the Greek delegation to NATO blocked a joint declaration intended to support Turkey regarding its military operation in Syria.**

      **On 2 March 2020, the U.S. Secretary of Defence Mark Esper denied US air support for Turkey in Idlib.**

      Turkey was left alone as always and took its “revenge” against Russia in Libya&Syria in the following months.

      I am sorry but Turkish Army is not for sale to defend Europe. At least that is my humble opinion.

    21. SraminiElMejorBeaver on

      Hopefully not, from what i remember with their population they would get one of the biggest share of seats in the European Parliament + would get lot of money allocated with how far they are from the standard level in the EU, Ukraine would be in a similar situation minus the money needed but at least they are on the same line overall and would give more voices to Eastern Europeans countries.

    23. wickedsoloist on

      Of course he will support.

      Read the history.

      “The deputy from Lehistan has not arrived yet.”

    24. kds1988 on

      It’s bizarre we’re even discussing this after the decade Erdogan has had…

    25. AberBitteLaminiert on

      Poland supports, because it knows it is not possible. So why not play “like it” to foster good relationships with Turkey?

    26. frontiercitizen on

      The last thing the EU needs is another Hungary (only worse)

    28. ForTheChillz on

      I don’t see that coming in the near future. Turkiye’s economy is tanking and has a very weak currency at the moment. They need to stabilize that first. Politically, they need a complete overhaul since Erdogan moved the country too far away from the EU. They would need to proof over several presidencies and administrations that they are reliable. The EU needs strong allies for sure but they cannot allow more destabilization. The question is: Would Turkiye (and certainly it’s citizen) be willing and patient enough to go through this long and transformative process?

    29. jokikinen on

      Does this mean Tusk and his party? Or is there really popular support in Poland for Turkey’s accession?

    30. TheeRoyalPurple on

      After Ukraine, Baltics may fall in a heartbeat. I understand what worries Poland. I do not know about last EU TR talks but I believe the ascension is not possible; just I want to say that generally Turkish people has no beef and even have positive feelings towards Polish people.

      We have a Polish village in Istanbul btw

      Eu not good for Turkey and we should never enter EU..however i want better economic and millitary releationships with EU

      And easier Visa if possible xD 10-12 year ago it was so easy to get schengen visa for Turks but then Turkey and EU went very opposite ways

      Many time i wanted to travel EU countries for tourism but felt lazy to do all that process

      Greece and Cyprus are about to put up generational veto numbers.

    35. Due_Newspaper4237 on

      Joining a union with centuries of historical enmity sounds foolish. Turkey should support Ukraine, not the EU.

    36. R2UZ on

      I don’t think anyone in Turkey wants to join EU anymore, especially when they cannot offer any strategic advantage. Only economical benefits are desired, and the rest is secured by NATO. There is no practical reason to join EU for Turkey.

    37. mnessenche on

      One day, it will be so. But now it may be too soon. Turkey and EU are both unready for this major enlargement. But we must be positive and promote this path

    38. marrow_monkey on

      I think any country that wants to join should be able to, but requirement for joining should be that the country is very democratic, respect human rights and provide basic welfare for its citizens. We don’t need more Orbans. And EU also need a way to exclude countries that regress into authoritarianism.

    39. lordofkeskek on

      Only realistic thing I would expect from this situation is to being able to not work, not live but just travel into EU visa-free. I hate it that I have to spend hundreds of euros, tens of hours only to get a 10 day visa or worse a rejection…
