Relations between Turkey and the European Union (EU) remain at a low ebb. Turkey’s increasing frustrations at the lack of progress in its bid to gain full membership of the eu could well have repercussions for the country’s domestic politics as well as for its foreign-policy agenda. Additionally, this could lead to increased tensions over Cyprus and deteriorating relations with Greece. US and European attitudes towards Turkey are likely to diverge and become an increasing source of tension in transatlantic relations.
