TY - JOUR TI - Türkiye’s relations with the European Union during the rule of the Justice and Development Party AU - Liszkowska, Dominika TI - Türkiye’s relations with the European Union during the rule of the Justice and Development Party AB - In 2002, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) took power in Türkiye and continued political, economic and legal reforms aimed at bringing the state closer to the standards and values of the European Union. Finally, in 2005, Türkiye managed to open accession negotiations, but without any guarantee of future membership. Over time, however, the original promises of reform gave way to increasingly serious violations of freedom of expression and human rights. With the slowdown of democratic changes and the increase in the authoritarian actions of the Turkish authorities, a deadlock in relations with the EU has become noticeable.
