I heard a debate on the TV this morning. Several people were talking about Turkey joining the European Union. I didn't hear much, but I heard someone said that the fact that Turkey had a Muslim population might be a problem.
What do you think about it? Should it join the Union or not?
Should Turkey join the UE?

I think it doesn't matter ..
maybe Turkey's location in ASIA ( geographer),
but if this matter relates at economy ,,maybe should
about muslims people I think all countries in ((UE)) have the muslims citizens.
so there is another problem

I don't think it's merely a matter of religion, nowadays there are many muslims throughout Europe and it doesn't seem to be a problem, at least in Italy.
My doubt is in the fact that Turkey hasn't got a European culture and background both for its past and for its geographical position.
Besides, if Turkey joins the European Union, how would the Cyprus problem be solved?
