Turkey Must Be in European Union ? Or Not ?

Question

Turkey Must Be in European Union ? Or Not ?

Answer 1

I DON'T know if it has been voted in or not .

Answer 2

Turkey is not in EU. With the existing political conflicts and poverty and other complications it is very unlikely that it will ever become part of the EU. Why should it anyway!

Answer 3

I think that Turkey has a long way to go before it is accepted into the EU. Sure it's the first muslim country to have democracy but they still allow honor killings and such.

The EU is mostly westerners with Christian/Catholic backgrounds and it may be hard to accept a race so different (although muslims seem to be invading all countries now).

Answer 4

Turkey should be encouraged and rewarded for its secular policies and support of NATO missions.  The danger of Europe rejecting Turkey would be the victory of the Islamists and  the state turning its view South for geopolitical power and alliances.  I understand the European apprehension about Turkey's population and immigration, but I think a gradual membership process that limits outward immigration initially while the economy reaches European levels would be best.

Answer 5

Before AKP regime Turkey was ready for EU. But now, not. Because there is no equality btwn citizens.e.g. men and women. A lot of problems about development and contemporariness. So if Turkey's way is this, it must not be in EU. Because it will damage EU.

Answer 6

The first thing is that it is a question between the Europeans and Turkey.

The US campaigning for Turkey in the EU would be like the EU campaigning for Mexico as a new US state.
