The PM arrived in Brussels today for the 2-day Summit
EU Summit
The EU Summit takes on significant meaning in light of the German efforts to broker bilateral talks between Greece and Turkey for the de-escalation
Berlin's intention is to postponed any talk of sanctions until December thus clearing the way to Turkey to conclude its aggressive plans by that date
Turkey always does -or at least tries to do- what it says it will do. Its claims are not a negotiating tactic & Erdogan has nothing to lose anymore
The two men discussed the EU-Turkish relations among other things
She said that Turkey was a NATO ally
He said it made it clear what consequences Turkey would face if it continued its provocations
The final draft was released at 2 am in the morning
Merkel opposes sanctions to Turkey, Kurtz wants EU to give a clear answer to Ankara, Macron asks for solidarity to Greece & Cyprus
It is the second letter he sent to the EU
