European leaders will have to live with five more years of Erdogan, whom they call to enter into a constructive relationship with the EU. European leaders did not fail to congratulate him on Sunday evening while Turkey is an essential interlocutor for the bloc.
"It is of strategic importance for the EU and Turkey to work to advance this relationship for the benefit of our people," stressed the President of the Commission, Jean-Claude Junker, in a statement on Sunday. The European Political Community will meet again on Thursday in Chisinau.
