IKV Secretary General Assoc. Prof. Çiğdem Nas gave a lecture on Türkiye-EU relations at the Foreign Policy Institute's training seminar held on 21 August 2022 in preparation for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exams. After briefly touching on the history of Türkiye-EU relations, Nas stated that the accession negotiations are actually in a deadlock. Assoc. Prof. Nas emphasised that the relations are progressing in alternative lanes since the negotiation process could not be carried out successfully and various problems, especially the Cyprus issue, hindered progress. Touching on processes such as updating the customs union and visa liberalisation, Assoc. Prof. Nas stated that the expected progress could not be achieved in these processes as well. Lastly, Nas stressed that the Green Deal, which constitutes the main priority of the EU, and the new conditions created by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, create the necessity of developing cooperation and engagement between Türkiye and the EU.
