_90675801_turkeydemo23jul16afpThe Commission and member states should impose a temporary freeze on EU accession talks with Turkey, urged a majority of political group leaders and MEPs in a debate with EU High Representative Federica Mogherini and Commissioner Johannes Hahn on Tuesday afternoon (22 November). But the door for dialogue should remain open, unless Turkey introduces capital punishment, some added. A resolution will be put to a vote on Thursday (24 November) at noon.

MEPs strongly condemned the disproportionately repressive measures taken in Turkey since the failed military take-over in July.
