Turkey has been waiting nearly 30 years in front of the European door, kept slightly ajar. While European Union lacks a clear long-term stategic vision of cooperation with Turkey, Ankara undergoes a metamorfosis from an „EU or death” attitude to a strong anti-UE rhetoric and authoritarian tendencies. Yet, no matter how reluclant to admit it both sides are, Ankara and Brussels still mutually need each other. Thus, Europe must realize the necessity of rethinking its approach towards Turkey. Otherwise it risks losing not only Turkey, but, paradoxically, also Ukraine.
