    52% OF EUROPEANS SAY NO TO TURKEY'S EU MEMBERSHIP

    If the EU national referendums set to vote on Turkey's EU membership,
    then the majority of Europeans would be against Turkey's joining the
    EU, according to the latest opinion poll 'Turkey's accession to the
    Union', released by Russian Armenians' Erkramas paper.

    The opinion poll shows that 52% of respondents oppose Turkish
    membership. 41% of respondents favor Turkey to join the EU, and 7%
    of them found it difficult to answer.

    The poll was coordinated by the Autonomous University of Madrid,
    University of Granada, and Turkey's University of Bogazici.

    This is not all of a sudden, says expert at the Center for Ethnic
    and Political Science Studies, Boris Kharkovsky. "These days, up to
    15 million Turks live in the EU countries, and it is difficult to
    call them 'good neighbors'. Their refusal to integrate into local
    communities and live in accordance with the European values negates
    and nullifies the campaign carried out by Turkey in Europe, when it
    tries to represent itself as a civilized nation."

    It's worth mentioning, that talks on Turkey's application to accede
    to the European Union have been started since 2005. As experts and
    analysts say, Turkey may join the EU in 10-15 years.
