Re: Turkey, EU Agree to Start Historic Membership Talks
I read a poll today with the percentage of support/rejection to the entry of Turkey in the various European countries. It was noticeable that Cyprus, Germany and Austria were the countries where rejection was higher. Obviously Germany and Austria the countries more directly affected from Turkish immigrants.
Other countries followed, but not to the high level of rejection of those countries. Which tells how little people know about the problems that do not affect them directly, and/or how little they care about the problems of others.
Or in other words, what a piece of useless rubbish and big lie the E.U. is.
