The latest polls strongly suggest that the Turkish people are now vehemently opposed, either to the European Union accession process currently underway, or the EU membership of Turkey altogether. Obviously, the whole project has gone down the drain. According to most EU enthusiasts, some years back, a large majority of the people was in support of EU membership. Their polls indicated that public support for the EU membership stood at about 70 to 82 percent for years. Over the last few years, however, this support has eroded, trickling down to 30 percent, at most. And, should the question be asked more specifically, with a view to finding out the public mood as to whether or not the people would condone any major concession on Cyprus or Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)-related matters in return for the continuation of the EU process, the nays are almost one hundred percent."
