"The Genocide Terror: The Armenian Bill in France Parliament
Sedat Laciner
Thursday , 12 October 2006
Turkey’s membership to the EU has been a test of democracy and “Europeanness” for the EU rather than Turkey.
We were used to harsh criticisms of the “Europeans” about Turkey’s economy, democracy etc. Until now, they have scolded the Turkish people and the Turks have listened to them.
Most of the time, the EU side was right in its criticisms. They kept on saying “human rights”, “end the torture”, “consolidate your democracy”, “liberalize your economy” and many more. There were of course some unjust criticisms too. Particularly, the Cyprus and the Aegean disputes and the Armenian issue were giving us signs from the “dark side” of Europe. But it has never been this much dirty."
