Michael Heaver's Blog: Is Turkish EU membership now dead in the water?
I don't really get the objection to Turkey joining, apart from German racism.
Greece supports it, and so do all our major parties.
I agree with some "hold" on Turkish free movement of labour util we have more equal economies, but I see no reason Turks are to be considered lower than the Dutch, Greeks, Italians, Latvians or Romanians (etc).
The territory of Turkey is integral to all European history, and the Ottoman Empire, as the precursor to Ottoman Turkey was a central part of the European power system in the 18th and 19th century.
Plus, Turks are often nice people and have really great food.
