EU will continue accession talks with Turkey: Mogherini

‘The European Union (EU)’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, says the bloc will continue its membership talks with Turkey despite disagreements with Ankara on human rights issues.
“We are continuing to talk with Turkey,” Mogherini told reporters in the northwestern Slovenian town of Bled, where she attended the 2017 Bled Strategic Forum, on Monday.
“We are not always agreeing on everything,” she said, adding, “There are some issues — especially human rights, fundamental freedoms, the situation of journalists — that are taking our positions very much apart, but talks continue.”
She said the future of the EU’s relations with Turkey would, however, depend on how the talks proceed.’
