I found this peice in which a Turkish author discusses EU membership. I am very curious about this topic and appreciate any opinions about the benefits and drawbacks of Turkey joining the EU.

HERE IS THE LINK:

Why should she join? Who would benefit? What gains would Turkey make?

Why should she NOT join? Who would lose, what would be lost?

Thank you for feedback,
Christine
