ANKARA: Turkey could suspend all its agreements with the European Union, including a customs union, if the bloc continues its “double standards” in talks with Ankara, Yigit Bulut, an adviser to President Tayyip Erdogan, told broadcaster TRT Haber on Monday.
A deal between Brussels and Ankara to stem the flow of illegal migrants into Europe has been hampered by disagreements over Turkey’s anti-terror law, which the European Union wants to see brought in line with EU standards.
