JTW News - Turkey and EU Referendums

"Turkey and EU Referendums
View: Sedat Laciner

According to some European politicians and journalists Turkey has nothing to contribute to the EU. Many of them see that Turkey will deplete the EU sources and cause great economic depression. The Christian Democrats and some other anti-Turkish circles in France and Germany argue that Turkey is not part of �the European civilization�. Turkey is generally considered poor, problematic and an awkward candidate for the EU. Worst of all, some abuse the �Turkey problem� in order to curtail their failures as witnessed in the French and Dutch referendums. The French and Dutch politicians refuse to question their mistakes and Turkey has become a scapegoat."
