#AUSTRIA: #EU Should End Membership Talks With Turkey Over Erdogan's Post-Coup Crackdown

[world politics news]


Austria's Chancellor Christian Kern has called on the European Union to end membership talks with Turkey in the wake of a massive government crackdown following a failed coup. Turkey's longstanding, and recently revived, bid to join the EU has already been hit by Pres. Recep Tayyip Erdogan's suggestion that he may reintroduce the death penalty, which would instantly disqualify the nation from joining the bloc.
