Turkey and EU
Md Umran Bin Kamran Chowdhury Gulshan, Dhaka
It is very good to hear that after forty years of waiting, European leaders finally allowed Turkey to start membership talks to join the Union. I cannot understand why Europe has kept Turkey waiting for such a long time. Turkey is an integral part of Europe and is a country of 70 million people. There is no reason for it not to join the EU. I hope European countries, especially Austria and East European countries, do not turn the EU into an exclusive Christian club because that will ruin its dignity. They must allow Turkey into the EU the same way, as they did to other member states. Turkey should not have been given hard conditions like recognising Cyprus (Greek). We should remember that it is the Greek Cypriots who refused to make peace with the Turkish Cypriots. I hope that Europe finally allows Turkey to join the EU.
