Abstract:

Turkey’s beginning accession negotiations in the year 2005 following obtaining the candidacy status created an expectation that the end was near regarding membership process. However, the 2008 global economic crisis and the internal politics of Turkey caused the negotiations to slow down. Come the year 2016, the relations with the European Union following the military coup attempt experienced in Turkey embodied an atmosphere of tension and stopping negotiations were requested by the European Parliament. In the study, the conclusion that maintaining and developing the gains of Turkey in the field of financial discipline after the 2001 crisis are not dependent on European Union negotiation process has been reached.
