The European Union will resume entry talks with Turkey after a three-year halt, three officials said, seeking to give the Turkish government an incentive to strengthen civil rights.
Representatives of the 28 EU governments agreed today in Luxembourg to the restart, the officials said on condition of anonymity because they’re not authorized to speak publicly. Turkey’s bid had been postponed in June after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan suppressed civic protests against his decade at the helm.
