President Recep Tayyip Erdogan aims to convene government officials to review the future of Turkey’s relationship with Europe following a key referendum on presidential powers this weekend.
Erdogan told state-broadcaster TRT yesterday that Turkey, a candidate country to join the European Union, had been unduly left waiting outside the bloc.
“Turkey is not their scapegoat. Everyone will know their place,” he said.
Tensions have been high between Turkey and Europe, especially Germany and the Netherlands, during the campaign, with Erdogan dubbing some leaders as “fascists” and accused them of behaving like “Nazis.” 
Erdogan also predicted that the referendum on expanding his powers would pass in tomorrow’s vote, saying polling research indicating a victory for the “yes” side.
“Some rates show below 55%, some show between 55 and 60%,” he said, with just one day left before campaigning closes.
Earlier in the day, Turkey’s EU Minister Omer Celik said he offered to hold a summit with the bloc to discuss the future of bilateral ties after the referendum.
“We have reached the lowest point in the crisis with the EU. To get out of that, what I have proposed to them is that a summit is needed,” he told HaberTurk channel.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu the day before was quoted by state-run news agency Anadolu as saying the country would push ahead for a visa-free travel deal to Europe, adding this was tied to a migration agreement reached last year.
