After nine hours of negotiations, the EU summit has finally agreed on sanctions against 40 officials from Belarus and a few "hard words" against Turkey and their illegal actions even though no sanctions were imposed thanks to Merkel. Cyprus and Greece have decided to agree with the current conclusions for now
>https://archive.is/yh4Af
>https://archive.is/nRstj

Summit conclusions:

"At the same time, the European Council strongly condemns the violations of the sovereign rights of the Republic of Cyprus and insists that they must stop. The European Council calls on Turkey to refrain from such actions in the future, as they violate international law, and stresses that the delimitation of the continental shelf and the Exclusive Economic Zone must be addressed through dialogue and negotiations in good faith, in full respect of international law. . It calls on Turkey to accept Cyprus' invitation to enter into a dialogue aimed at resolving all maritime disputes between Turkey and Cyprus.

At the same time, the European Council supports the rapid resumption of negotiations on the Cyprus issue, under the auspices of the UN, and remains fully committed to a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus issue within the UN and in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolutions 550 and 789 of the SA, in compliance with the principles on which the EU is based. Expects the same from Turkey. The EU stands ready to play an active role in supporting the negotiations, including by appointing, after the resumption, a representative to the UN mission."

[...]

"provided that constructive efforts to stop illegal activities against Greece and Cyprus continue, the European Council agreed to launch a positive EU-Turkey political agenda, with an emphasis on modernizing the Customs Union and facilitating trade, as well as ongoing cooperation on migration, under the EU-Turkey Declaration (2016). The European Council calls on its President, in cooperation with the President of the European Commission and with the support of the High Representative, to draw up a proposal for the renewal of the EU-Turkey agenda."

—————————————————————————

Sadly, thanks to Merkel, no sanctions were imposed and she also did not wat any mention of sanctions to be in the text, she made reference to the now scheduled meetings between Greek and Turkish Foreign Ministers after October 5th (which will probably go nowhere thanks to Turkey making absurd demands)

Macron

"We can not re-engage in a dialogue with Turkey if we allow it to cross red lines. We must show stability and clarity, without escalating," Macron said after the summit. "There was a big gap around the table. We worked with Chancellor Merkel to achieve this result. "We have all made concessions and this text is the best we can get tonight, because it sends a very clear, firm message to Turkey about Greece and Cyprus and it clearly calls for dialogue"

Erdogan: "The fact that the Minsk Group is still seeking a truce (between Armenia and Azerbaijan) is unacceptable [...] for a solution to be found, the invaders (talking about Armenia) must withdraw from these territories." and " I warn those who support this bandit state"
>https://archive.is/Hfb6b

A very interesting point to be made is that Armenia uses the same justification as Turkey regarding the disputed areas. Turkey has occupied Cyprus after launching two full scale invasions in 1974 and failing to capture the whole island despite the fact that to this day they still try to claim the ownership of regions such as Farmagusta which according to international law must not belong to either Cyprus or the occupied territories under Turkish rule, therefore remain empty.
Armenia holds control over a region where their Christian population is a majority and were being persecuted by the Azerbaijani state with their neo-ottoman-like national identity and pride. Turkey's call for the withdraw of Armenian forces and statements that such actions are illegitimate should be prompting Greek government officials and media to call out Turkey on their hypocrisy and maybe even use it as a legal argument during the next time Turkey tries to lay claim over cyprus since both the UN and the EU have been "trying to solve" the issue in Cyprus for so long

Erdogan's party has backed a call by his partner and MIR party leader Devlet Bahceli to close the Constitutional Court for the blocking of the death penalty. “If the Parliament in this matter takes a step towards a new structure in the Constitutional Court, then I will approve it”
>https://archive.is/j8oAc

Such calls have been made recently after the Turkish parliament has been discussing and trying to bring back the Death Penalty, something that might also be a problem regarding their accession in the EU since the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights) has abolished the Death Penalty and it would put the European system at odds with European laws

From 04/09
Turkish Parliament Speaker tells European Human Rights Court president Robert Spano how important the European Court of Human Rights is for Turkey. The next day he asks for restoring death penalty which was abolished by ECHR.

"if the EU applies sanctions this will not deter us. On the contrary this would increase our resolve and would be a negative stance on the part of the European Union" he said
