The negotiation becoming a member of the EU.between European Union and Turkey will start from October this year.However, the joining of Turkey causes a great dispute in Europe.
According to the Japan Times, Turkey's people are disappointed at the some
EU. leaders negative opinion about the accession negotiation on October
3.
French President Jacques Chrac has recently criticized Turkey over its
refusal to recognize Cyprus.
They are afraid that Turkey would never be accepted into Europe. Because
every time it came closer to EU membership new obstacle would be erected.
Actually,Turkey is a member of the Custom Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Finally, like all candidate
countries, Turkey also receives financial and technical assistance
in support of ongoing reform programs.
It is up to EU government to treat Turkey with the fairness that all candidate countries deserve.
Any firm rejection of Turkey could strengthen Islamists and nationalists in Turkey, which could drawn the country
away from the West.
However, Historically, French got an allergy against Turkey, despite French people used to say the culture becomes
matured due to the communication of the different culture.
It is seemingly reported that Europeans begun to drink a coffee
and develop a coffee culture as the Ottoman Turkish army left a coffee bags in Vienna in 1638.
At that time, the Ottoman Turkish army seized Vienna but Austrian
army finally drove away the enemy.Actually Islam famous doctor Razes discovered a
coffee as a medicine in about 1,000 years ago.
Any way, once Turkey is admitted to join a member of the EU, the EU will open the door to the other Islam
countries. EU will be a big counterpart of the USA.
Japan should consider how to encounter the E..U.
Is the blocked policy favorable for Japan, economically and politically?
