This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. The UK Government and Parliament do not have the power on their own to prevent Turkey from joining the EU. They could however oppose its entry to the EU. You could start a petition calling on the Government to urge the EU not to let Turkey join.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
