"Greeks split over Turkey in EU

Greek public opinion is virtually split down the middle as regards the repercussions of Turkey’s potential accession to the European Union, according to a nationwide survey by pollsters VPRC whose results were made public yesterday.

According to the poll, which was conducted a week after the launch of EU talks with Turkey on October 3, 46 percent of Greeks believe that Turkey’s eventual EU membership would be “in the interest” of Greece.

However, 50 percent of respondents said they deemed the launch of Ankara’s negotiations with Brussels as a “rather negative” development."
