European Council President Charles Michel: We are ready to impose sanctions against Tukey

The European Union is ready to impose sanctions on Ankara because of its behaviour, said European Council President Charles Michel.

“We reached out to Turkey in October and our assessment is negative with the continuation of unilateral actions and hostile rhetoric. We will have a debate during the European summit on December 10 and we are ready to use the means at our disposal to impose sanctions over the situation,” Charles Michel said in a news conference Friday.
