The European Commission's 2026 report on Turkey's progress towards EU membership criticizes Ankara's refusal to cooperate with the Republic of Cyprus, its insistence on a two-state solution, and its continued violation of international law. The report also expresses concern about Turkey's military activities in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean, including its support for the Turkish-Libyan maritime jurisdiction agreement, which the EU considers null and void. Additionally, the report highlights Turkey's democratic backsliding, including prosecutions of elected officials, restrictions on media and LGBTQ+ organizations, and a widening gap between its EU membership ambitions and its political record.
