Hungarian PM's Participation In OTS Summit Cuases Much Of EU Leadership's Consternation
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Hungarian Prime Minister Orban did not represent the European
Union at the informal Summit of the Heads of State of the
Organization of Turkic States (OTS/TDT) held on July 6 in Shusha,
Azerbaijan.
Azernews reports, citing Azertag that this was stated in the
statement of the High Representative of the European Union for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell.
In addition, the European Union, as stated by the European
Commissioner, condemns the OTS's attempts to legitimize the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) as an observer in the
organization.
Note that Hungary presides over the EU Council from July 1 to
December 31, 2024.
The logic of such a denial by Brussels is not entirely clear,
because the OTS organization itself has never considered the
European Union as its "Turkish" partner, to have a representative
from the entire European Union among its members and even observer
states.
