[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 224210, member: 240"] Interesting to read your comments - my only experience of Turkey was a long weekend in Istanbul many years ago and, although it was an interesting experience, I never went back, which I guess says something. At that time it certainly felt like the country, its people and its culture were very different, much more closely aligned to eastern and arab than to Europe. Its hard to see how such a large gulf could be bridged sufficiently to become a successful partner of the "European Community" TBH. In my opinion there are already several countries in the EEC who were (and still are) not ready yet. It seems like the whole thing was rushed through in a bit of a panic. [/QUOTE]
