HELLO ALL OF MY FRİENDS..

I WANT TO START A SMALL VOTİNG..iTS A FRİENDLY VOTİNG AND I HOPE MAYBE IT CAN BE A SAMPLİNG TO REACH TO THE ALL OF SPACE..
VOTE İT PLEASE;

WHAT DO U THİNG ABOUT EU MEMBERANCE OF TURKEY..?

1-) YES IT MUST BE ( TELL THE REASON )
2-) TENTATİVE
3-) NO I DONT WANT ( TELL THE REASON )

THANX FOR NOW FOR ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS...

For the moment I'll go with 2) Tentative!

I am against, and don’t believe it will happen for the following reasons.

Turkey’s growth has been huge, and arguably so fast that people are still resisting the changes which have already happened in the last few decades. They are making huge progress politically and economically, in fact in 2004 and 2005 their economic growth was 7% -(higher than any other EU country!) but more time is needed for further changes to be implemented.

There is a very good reason why the US are so keen for Turkey to join because it is an atlanticist and NATO country – do we really want the EU to become even more under the influence of the US.?

The reasons I don't believe their application will be successful are:

The application and desire to join has meant that major changes have already been made, but fundamental issues like recognising Cyprus (who are members of the EU!) as an independent state and the existence of penal codes such as:-

"A person who explicitly insults being a Turk, the Republic or Turkish Grand National Assembly, the penalty to be imposed shall be imprisonment for a term of six months to three years." and "When insulting being a Turk is committed by a Turkish citizen in a foreign country, the penalty to be imposed shall be increased by one third."

make it it impossible for membership to be agreed.


However, Turkey is young, fast growing and has a bright future – with or without the EU

merhaba!
the EU membership implies meeting political and economic cryteria and athough it was designed as an economic entity, the Union- after the Maastricht Treaty- has developed as a political organism
regarding the Turkey EU membership, further steps should be taken in order to meet the political cryteria (the EU Report published last month clearly states this)
I sincerely hope that what is now a perspective to turn one day into a certainty; Turkey is a major player in the stability of the region and has proven it as a NATO member. Still, the EU has additional tests which must be passed!

I think if users from any member state vote only the result will be much more pertinent to the aim of the voting as they will decide on that at the end. Otherwise since everyone has an opinion concerning the question it might lead to an argument.

I would like to know the votes and opinions of the users from member states.

I would just like to add....Turkey does not need the EU ! They have a hugely growing population of young, well educated citizens who, given 20 years, will outshine all other EU countries. Turkey is still so young as a secular muslim state and has a wealth of resources - just wait....the EU will be begging them to join in the future

maybe it would be useful to have paralel votes
let the people of the EU member states vote whether Turkey should or should not be an EU Member
on the other hand, let the Turkish people express thier vote whether they want or not that thier country be an EU member
