Introduction
The purpose of this report is to debate on the position taken by a fellow student on
whether Turkey should be given the opportunity to join the European Union. The student has a
negative position regarding the issue.
The student refers to the social perspective indicating that allowing Turkey to join the EU
would result to risks regarding terrorism, migration, as well as social unrest. An insight is given
regarding Turkey’s huge population which would be problematic if it joined the EU. This is
because it would result to massive Turks’ immigration to other European nations (Azrout, Van
Spanje & De Vreese, 2013). This, as a result, would demean many European governments’
efforts to lower immigration levels. Further, the vast political, cultural, and geographic
differences wary European politicians in allowing Turkey to join the block (Martin, 2012).
Turkey is politically unstable and experiences terror attack threats from Kurdish militants and
PKK terrorist group. If allowed to join EU, Turkey would bring its domestic problems across
Europe.
The student further indicates that Turkey has got the highest number of refugees globally.
Allowing the country to join the European Union would give these refugees enhanced chances of
migrating to Europe. This would be against EU’s interests since they previously negotiated with
Turkey to take in refugees from Syria, preventing them from getting to Europe (De Vreese, Van
Der Brug & Hobolt, 2012). Nonetheless, the student indicates that it would be difficult for these
refugees to obtain employment. Thus, joining the bloc would result in heavy financial load on
European social assistance programs.
