ANKARA (Reuters) – President Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday told ambassadors from the European Union that the bloc had not provided meaningful support in battling migration and that it had not reciprocated Turkey\u2019s efforts to improve relations.<\/p>

Ties between Ankara and the bloc reached a boiling point in 2019 due to a dispute between Turkey and EU member Greece over maritime jurisdiction and rights to offshore energy resources in the eastern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

Ankara and Athens, NATO allies, have since resumed talks to address their differences, easing tensions and establishing what both Turkey and the bloc have called a \u201cpositive agenda\u201d, though the move has yielded little improvement in cooperation.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ambassadors from EU countries at a meeting in Ankara, Erdogan said Turkey wanted to set ties with the bloc on a \u201cmore solid foundation\u201d, but had been subjected to \u201cstalling tactics\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to state with sadness that we did not receive the response we wanted from the EU side to these steps,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In March 2016, the EU reached an agreement with Turkey to stem the flow of refugees into the bloc and for Ankara to host Syrians fleeing the war their country in return for billions of euros for projects.<\/p>\n

Turkey currently hosts some 4 million Syrian refugees, the world\u2019s largest refugee population, and has said it will not accept any more migrants.<\/p>\n

\u201cTurkey has not received meaningful support from the EU in its battle with migration,\u201d Erdogan said, adding it would not be possible to have \u201cdeepened cooperation\u201d on the issue as long as the terms of the 2016 agreement were not updated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crisis in Belarus has shown once again that the bloc is devoid of a sustainable policy in battling migration,\u201d he added, referring to a dispute between Minsk and the EU over millions of migrants stranded at their borders.<\/p>\n

He also said political turmoil in Bosnia, caused by Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik\u2019s separatist moves, was exacerbated by shortcomings in the bloc\u2019s perspective of membership, adding that the region was \u201cgiving signals of returning to the negative environment of the 1990s\u201d.<\/p>\n
