Baku – APA. Turkey is in no position to become a European Union member any time soon and all negotiations for it to join will stop immediately if it reintroduces the death penalty, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Monday, Reuters reported.
"I believe that Turkey, in its current state, is not in a position to become a member any time soon and not even over a longer period," Juncker said on French television France 2.
He said that a country that included the death penalty in its legislative arsenal had no place in the European Union.
No country can become a member of the European Union if it has death penalty, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini said earlier.
