well speaking about being a member of the european union is no wonder a great benefit for a country according to the ecnonomic terms such as (likely) positive impact on their currency,employment, attracting investors and other economic conditions but i think from my opinion that turkey should have also stood up in in such a postion that the EU organisation must think that by attatching turkey wid the EU they r doing a favour to themselves rather than doing a favour to turkey...... and ofcourse turkey cud have done if they wudnt have been blindly obssessed with the so-called european cutlture despite the fact of being a muslim country.( i do apologise if im wrong, turkey inspite of being a muslim country, their constitution, and whtsoeva legislations are based on SECULARISM.
