Turkey Joining the Eu?

being together in the EU really doesn't raise the probability of dialogue between the cultures.

even in Turkey, where atheist and muslim people are literally neighbours, there is a pronounced xenophobia. unless certain collective groups want this coexistence to happen, I doubt it that it will.

Hello BurdenofBeing, You are Turk living in Turkey, so u can say what are the opinion of the turkish citizens of the Eu accesion?
 
It's a mixture. Most of the people think that we'll never be welcome in there even if we get in there.

The people against it are so because: "we get the shaft anytime we are in a group. Like NATO" "we are not christians" "we'll lose our best human resources"

The people for it are so because: "our economy will flourish for various reasons" "no more visas. finally!" "we'll at least belong to one group that matters."

There is also a third group, in which many intellectuals belong. They say: "following the EU regulations is good for Turkey no matter what, but the decision to join the EU will be on our part at the end. "

the part that doesn't want to join EU is actually the part EU countries don't want most. the eastern turkey.
 
Nice poll :D

To be honest here, I voted yay. The reason for that is that if Turkey and it's people want to prosper as a country, the best thing to do is ally yourself with Europe.
Not to exaggerate, as an Arab I can honestly say that the Arabs nowadays are being sucked into a devilish act of "Tribalism", heck I admit I too am sucked into it form time to time, and I'm disgusted by it.
 
yes get em in. my wifes Turkish, kids half Turkish, firstly lets get an islamic country into eu, secondly it means that Turkish human rights will be greatly improved, leading to kids being out of danger, people with disabilities being better provided for. I know Turkish govnment will be expected to provide air pads for planes and missile strikes etc, but I think that Turkey and Turkish people are strong and noble. I see on Turkish TV that Turkey are not scared to voice their opinion, this will probably ultimatley keep them out, I say eu will be greatly advanced re islam if they join. Back in the day, the Ottamans were fierce and took countries as they wished, they were islamic in rule but allowed people to be free and worship as they pleased, they never forced islam. Yes to Turkey
