Politically right wing and most left wing are against Turkey entering Europe. Many reasons for it when i read the news here.
1- most important is Europe is much criticized by French people
because it is only business matter no social matter no political union ...
and the already just entered countries and to come is already big problem: most of people didn't see good that poor countries enter Europe. this is not racism but they worry of Europe situation and as well low salaries people entering the market.
So Turkey matter would even be another step of too many countries for most people
2- another important point is that people here think Turkey is not in Europe land
(strange point of view)
3- some people are worried that Turkey because it is a big country
would get such power that the two important countries Germany and France would be weaken
4- problem of being majority of muslims : for the nationalists
and i expect a little bit from Sarkozy as well i see in him some anti islam point of view. like many French but not all at all: some people here think Islam cannot match democracy
it is not the main matter anyway
Many consultants , the smartest and most known
often say Turkey is important country for Europe
Intelligence will win.. it matters how long it takes
Hopefully they will join the group of countries that understand Turkey joining the EU would be beneficial. Last 2 points are the main reasons but more so 4 i believe. Germany's stance imo stems from the immigrant population of German-Turks now residing in Germany left over from the Turkish worker force that helped rebuild their country. I don't think they want us there anymore. Especially with the current AKP government which is advocating the Turks there to form their own bubble I.E. Turkish schools/Culture centers which is something that doesn't sit well with the Germans which is understandable.
