"Turks In Europe
Published: 1/7/2008

BY ERDAL SAFAK

SABAH- The dream or hope of a common Turkish future with Europe is growing more distant each day, due to Europeans’ policy of exclusion. What’s more, these policies target not only Turks living in Turkey, but also Turks living abroad. The treatment that Europeans consider us worthy of is known. For example, citizens of all European Union candidate countries are given the right of free movement, but Turks are excluded from this. For example, while the existing Customs Union is based on the free movement of goods, services and labor, the free movement of labor or people is rejected for Turkey. What’s more, people predict that even if Turkey joins the European Union one day, this free movement of people will never happen."
