TURKIYE- The European Union can be considered the great project of Europe following World War II. European countries which twice suffered devastation in world wars 30 years apart established the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951, the nucleus of the EU. The EU gained its current situation in line with this community’s expansion in its various dimensions. As Turkey’s EU adventure dates back more than 40 years, we can say that we took part in every stage of EU history, albeit not as a full member."
