Since the reforms seem to be in reverse gear for the time being, it would be fitting, and a fulfillment of the promises given by EU Commissionar for Enlargement Olli Rehn, that the technical negotiations for Turkish EU membership should be set in reverse too. Or at least suspended, until Turkey shows serious commitment to democratic reform. Doing so will help freedom in Turkey, and will help the EU civil servants keep their words, too.
