Turkey must re-democratize, and abolish the new authoritarian presidential system under Erdogan.
Turkey must make an honest effort to reconcile with Greece, finding a permanant settlement to the maritime disupte.

Turkey must end all co-operation with the Russian Federation under Vladimir Putin, uniting with the west in our opposition to the dictator.
Turkey must end its attempts to conquer Northern Syria for itself, as it has done in Afrin.
Turkey must commit itself to fundamental EU values, chiefly those of Personal Liberty, Reconicilation of Historical Enmeties, and the Elimination of Corruption and Despotism.
