The aim of the following essay is to discuss the Turkish problem in relation to European enlargement policy.
Reading the quotation it comes to surface that the same criteria for the States of Central Europe followed to join Turkey. The problem raised is that comparing Turkey with the other Member States it a lot of differences can be seen and above all respect of human rights , cultural and religious differences.
From another point-of-view, the articles from the Economist tell us that cultural differences aren’t the real problem and after Mr Erdogan’s politics reforms Turkey is in line to Copenhagen criteria establishing that all the Members must have a stable democracy, respecting human rights. And have a functioning market economy.
I agree with the Economist articles because I think that Turkey could improve European economy and above all this is the best way to create relationship with another “World”, another culture (Islam). The relationship would not only improve economy but it would also enlarge the area of Peace, created by EU’s balance because I think a democratic dialogue is the best way to create a condition of Peace.
