Thinking More Loudly on Turkey’s EU Bid http://www.turks.us/article.php?story=ThinkingM... Last week I discussed that while Europeans might be deliberately unaware of the developments in Turkey that support for European Union membership was dwindling, I was still optimistic about Turkey’s future with the EU. The reasons for Turkish skepticism, as was argued, were the EU’s reluctance to engage Turkey in an honest fashion and some members’ demands that had nothing to do with standard membership negotiations. The French parliament’s vote last week that makes the denial of the Armenian “Genocide”ť illegal and Dutch political parties’ exertion of pressure on candidates of Turkish origins to accept Armenian allegations as facts or face expulsion from electoral lists has given me more than sufficient proof to speak out against my country’s ill-fated EU venture.
