On 24 November 2017, the European Parliament passed a resolution calling for a freeze in Turkey’s process of accession to the EU.

Despite its non-binding nature, it met with a harsh reaction from Ankara. The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to break off Turkish-EU cooperation on resolving the refugee crisis, and accused EU countries of supporting terrorist organisations (mainly the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, PKK) which Turkey is fighting.
