Turkey's relations with the EU are under strain as Ankara distances itself from Brussels, per RFE/RL.

The rift comes amid disputes over energy projects and regional influence, with Turkey seeking new alliances.

Meanwhile, Turkish President Erdoğan's hosting of a Turkic states summit highlights Ankara's growing role in the region, Hurriyet Daily News reports.

The summit concluded with the signing of the Ankara Declaration, outlining joint defense initiatives under Turkish leadership.
