N2 - European countries, concerned about Turkey's
swing towards authoritarianism, are not allowing political campaigns by
AKP members on their soil, a decision that has rankled the Turkish ruling
party. Ankara’s relations with Europe have deteriorated for other reasons as
well: the support Europe allegedly gives the PKK, its reluctance to
acknowledge the alleged responsibility of FGM for the coup attempt in July
2016, and the refugee deal. As the gaps widen between Turkey and Europe,
it might be better for both sides if Europe made up its mind about Turkish
admission to the EU.
