EU membership



I do not agree with the statement that being a member of the european union will help turkey improving its conditions.
In turkey we have a bad economy and our citizens have a less income with which they just can nourish their families. If turkey would become a member of the Eu then this would mean that our currency would change from lira to euro. Such a change would make everything worse than it is now because the prices would climb like it happened in other european countries. The economical aspect is only one side of this problem.
Another side is the cultural one, which does not fit together with the european culture. Turkey seems to them like an arabic country, which means that they believe that we are living not in a democracy because of our religious beliefs and some worse things like honour deaths. Our love to our nation and our leader Atatürk seems like exaggerated patriotism to them and that frightens them.
On the other hand it is true that turkey will get financial support when we become a member of the Eu but on the other side turkey has also to pay money for other countries, which maybe will later enter the union. We can not get away with such a payment because turkey needs all his money for improving itself.
Regarded from a different view there is no reason to enter in a union which soonly said that the PKK is not more seen as a terrorist group. There is no excuse for such a statement and this let me think that if we enter the Eu than then they would make everything to stop us in fighting against PKK. So we would be defenceless against terrorist's attacks.
For these reasons i do not agree with the statement and beyond this i am totally against a membership.
