Prema riječima Armagana Emrea Cakira, profesora evropske politike i međunarodnih odnosa pri Institutu za EU u okviru Univerziteta Marmara, ti pregovori nisu došli do zastoja, nego su samo stigli do uskog grla.
According to Armagan Emre Cakir, professor of EU Politics and International Relations at Marmara University's EU Institute, the negotiations have not come to a standstill, but rather have only reached a bottleneck.
