Historical perceptions negative about the Turk
In discussions on Turkey’s membership of the European Union the cultural differences between Turkey and the EU-member states are greatly exaggerated.

This short piece argues that there is no solid argument to block Turkey’s membership and EU dithering on this issue confirms its insincerity, which is rooted in a long history of negative perceptions about Turkey."
