The Turkey conundrum - The Blade
The Turkey conundrum
Published on Dec. 3, 2016
The European Parliament voted Nov. 24 to suspend accession negotiations with Turkey. These have been ongoing for 29 years, but have been kept from completion — and Turkish membership in the European Union — by the hurdles the E.U. has in place for Turkey to cross. The E.U. needs Turkish labor, and also could be well-served by Turkey as an E.U. member as a bridge between it and Muslim countries to the east in Asia. At the same time, there is resistance among some E.U. members to the idea of a large, predominantly Muslim state being added to the E.U., comprised largely of states that consider themselves Christian.

Turkey needs to be ‘normalized’
Turkey was pulled into a nightmarish situation with the failed July 15 coup attempt. How the coup evolved, why Turkey’s well-fed intelligence services could not gather information, take adequate measures and prevent the calamity the country was condemned to still remain a mystery. How all those failed top security agents and executives have retained their posts is yet another mystery from those days. Turkey has definitely always been a peculiar country but is even more so today.
