During the night on 22^nd of March, the Union's leaders strongly condemned Turkey's actions in the Mediterranean and the Aegean sea, but did not cancel the meeting, scheduled to take place on 26^th of March. However, the EU strongly supported Greece and Cyprus in their conflict with Ankara.

Bulgaria’s Prime Minister, Boyko Borissov, has received support from all European countries for the holding of the EU-Turkey meeting in Varna. This does not mean that the attitude towards countries like Turkey is unambiguous.
