Turkey in the EU would be good for the South

caf�babel, European current affairs magazine : comment and analysis from Europe

"Turkey in the EU would be good for the South
There are many ideological reasons that encourage support of Turkey’s entry into the EU, but in the countries of Southern Europe there are also strategic reasons.
In central and northern Europe, public opinion is much divided over the possible entry of Turkey into the EU. In Austria, the majority are not in favour; in Germany the Left support Turkey’s entry, whilst the conservative Angela Merkel has often displayed the opposite feeling; and finally in France, the division is so problematic that their president Jacques Chirac has promised to hold a referendum on the subject."
