First of all, several governments of the European Union want absolutely to organize a referendum about Turkey’s EU membership. But it is revealing that they didn’t want to organize a referendum about the Lisbon treaty (Ireland only organized one). That is crystal clear: they were afraid that their citizens might vote against that treaty, that is why they were against a referendum. Is that democracy? However, these governements state that a referendum must be held about Turkey’s EU membership, and they justify it “in the name of democracy”. Well, what I understand is that these governments manipulate democracy for their interest, since they decided that their citizens weren’t competent to make the right or the sensible decision about the Lisbon treaty. Why? Because they knew that their citizens could have voted “No”. But these governments decided that their citizens are competent regarding Turkey’s EU membership. “Yes, I think to myself “What a wonderful world”. Oh yeah”.The media are so used to introducing only the negative side of Turkey to the citizens of the EU that these ones have become their prisoners and have a lot of prejudices. These citizens, who don’t know Turkey, are then against Turkey’s EU membership, whereas Turkey is a candidate country to the EU since 10 years, whereas the EU-Turkey negiotiations have already begun. The EU citizens are against Turkey’s EU membership because they are victims of a systematic disinformation regarding Turkey, above all by the media (who does control the media? We must know it to understand why there is such a war on information against Turkey). And there is such an ocean of prejudices towards Turkey that tolerating an objective or positive information is extremely difficult and requires an Herculean task on oneself. Because of the numerous EU media and politicians who make a brain washing about Turkey. Introducing the positive sides of Turkey is unusual. Something is rotten in the state of the EU.Let’s remind that Turkey wants to be a member of the EU because it has always been its international political plan: Turkey stated at the time of the European Economic Community that it wants to be part of a political Europe. Let’s underline that the EEC/EU were not created in a cultural perspective but they have always been an economic and political plan. What have in common the Italians with the Belgians? Or what have in common the Greeks with the English? Angela Merkel and the christian democrats of the EU tried to include in the EU constitution: “The root of the EU is Christendom”, but they failed. That was an anti-secular attempt. Anyway, Turkey is very close to the EU in numerous symbolic fields. For instance, Turkey is a member of Eurocontrol (since 1989, whereas several EU countries became members after it). And in spite of the unhealthy anti-turkish game of some irresponsable politicians, its EU membership is still on the horizon. Olli Rehn said that Turkey’s EU membership is vital. Günter Verheugen said that the EU needs more Turkey than Turkey needs the EU (but Mr Verheugen, why have made the greek Cypriots members of the EU whereas it was obvious that their EU membership would become an obstacle to Turkey’s EU membership, in the same manner of Greece’s EEC membership? In other words, with Greece, the EU created an iron curtain - based on religion - between itself and Turkey.
