Should Turkey (TURKIYE) join E. U. ?

Answer 1

hi sis.. yes of course it should why not? some people says turkey not in europe but is cyprus or malta in europe?

Answer 2

Turkey has a strong historical connection with Europe so it can be considered a part of Europe.
So technically there is no problem with Turkey joining the EU.

Over the last couple of years the EU is moving from a political and social union towards an economical union. Evidence can be found in the rapid expansion towards the east of Europe with countries that are politically and socially not ready to join the EU (like Bulgaria and Romania). If the EU continues to move towards this economic union then allowing Turkey to join is not a problem.

However if the EU still wants to be a social and political union then there should be a unifying basis among the member states. There should be some kind of social and cultural bond between the nations.
I personally do not believe that the majority of Turkey has enough common grounds with western Europe to create this stable relationship.

I personally am for a social and political union, but I don't think this is feasible with the current member states.
I therefore believe in 'a Europe of two speeds' with some members forming 'a closer bond' (e.g. Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, maybe Slovenia, ...) and a large economical union with all the current members, Turkey and maybe others.

Answer 3

What do you people know about Turkey huh? Nothing!

Turkey is the most laid back Muslim country. Woman can drive, vote, heck they even have had Women leaders. If a person holds a public job like a doctor they can not practice their religion publicly. Even in School its forbidden to cover. They drink alchol their unlike some Muslim countries that would kill you if you did.
Turkey is not up for debate in joining the EU because its Muslim its being debated because of The french are friends with the Armenians and the issue of the Turkish death penalty. This is said because there are counties in the EU that have large skeletons in their closet.

Answer 4

I think some people want it to happen because they fear a future confrontation with a powerful Islamist Turkey. They think that if Turkey can be brought into the EU it will strengthen the secularists currently in power and stop the Islamists taking over. It's a gamble for Europe because the nightmare scenario is that Turkey will actually accelerate the cultural Islamization of Europe when it gets into the EU and becomes it's largest single nation.

Europe with the exception of France is culturally vulnerable to Islamization because of a misguided belief in multi culturalism.
There is no easy choice here.
Conflict with the Islamic world is inevitable in my view. If Turkey joins the EU the conflict will be internal and if it stays outside the EU the conflict will be external.
No muslim country has yet demonstrated that it can be politicallly stable and respect human rights and democracy. I think idealists like Tony Blair want to bring Turkey into the EU to show that Islam and western civilization are compatible but the Iraq disaster doesn't give me confidence that this will work.

Answer 5

Agreeing with friends above, human beings ought to work out the destiny. no longer purely right this moment and previous. Çetin suggested it, the sunlight rises from the East. China would be the main important ability very quickly. Russia became continuously like that. India and Korea are vast gamers too and in no thank you to forget approximately Japan. And different than for Asia, Brazil and Australia are super possibilities. i will say,on the 2d those international locations result international economic equipment three times (or possibly 4) greater advantageous than the entire ecu. i'm no longer asserting that, the numbers are.the international economic equipment shapes in accordance to China's import quantity according to annum. background tells us,whoever controls the economic equipment,that controls the international politics. it particularly is obtrusive that ecu international locations have become shoppers purely and not something greater.simply by fact of this they are united. even though it particularly is not a actual answer the two. Turkey ought to circulate with the facet properly. And all the signs and indicators practice East, no longer West.

Answer 6

Does Turkiye want to join the EU?

Answer 7

That would be a huge mistake, go to www.history.com
Turk/Russian allegiance, the whys and where for art thou romeos are all described in detail why not to do this in real print and fact and audio/visual for you as well for special entertainment. But if we Fry that place we could BBQ Turkey and feed the poor, okay? Look up Greece and then guess why not?
America? England? Turkey are a bunch of stretched out necked turkeys just looking to get it cut off. Tell you what you invite them in your home to stay a while and then come back and tell us all how you feel then? And I don't mean some neighbor that you know but grab up a few from the Turkish realm, you know the ones that are aiding and abedding the terrorists, or can't you distinguish between the two? So don't try, stay out of it , and Tony Blair should stop trying to prove he is a leader of peace because he is as big of a fool as Bush and no matter what when Bush goes down he will too. No one will forget his baffoonery either.
