Turkey wants to kick-start talks about joining the European Union, as the government seeks to attract more investment following President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s revamp of his economic team after re-election in May.
“All we need is to allow us to continue on a journey that is so relevant in terms of wholesale transformation,” Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek said at a summit in Austria on Thursday. “We look up to EU as source of inspiration for change. That is the best alternative out there.”
