Commentaries By George Gregoriou
At a party the other day a French woman who was connected with the United Nations said to me “Turkey will not be in the European Union”. I said “I will not loose any sleep over it. If Turkey does change she does not deserve to be in the EU”. Maybe the cynical among us will not loose any sleep. But, Washington and London will, and the Turkish corporate interests and the left, who want to move in the direction of Europe. Official Athens and Nicosia also want Turkey to be in Europe. A more civilized Turkey will be a better neighbor in the Aegean, even settle the Cyprus problem in a way which is acceptable to the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. At least, this has been the official line from the moment Ankara became a candidate for membership in the European Union."
