"'We Shouldn't Put so Much Trust in Europe' (On Turkish-EU Relations)
Osman Ulagay
Columnist Osman Ulagay comments on Turkish-EU relations and the approaching referendum on the European Constitution. A summary of his column is as follows:
�During the first two years of the Justice and Development Party�s (AKP) rule, I was one of those who favored their policy on integration with Europe, mainly because I used to think that EU membership was the best option for Turkey. Besides, I didn�t really believe the government could come up with a better policy and long-term objective on its own. I used to think that the EU might think big and welcome us into the Union for the sake of becoming a global power."
