A look at the Union Joining Survey; Europe does not want Turkey

According to the report of the International Group Tasnim News Agency, these days Erdogan’s government is preparing to open a new way for friendship and friendship with European countries. The latest action of Erdogan’s government is trying to finish a sea bridge that is supposed to connect Turkey and Greece and cars can easily travel on this huge bridge.

Turkey is also trying with some Other European countries such as Germany and France also develop their relations. The Muslim Asian country has good relations with the small country of Malta as well as with Spain, but the evidence suggests that it is not, as Baba Taher puts it, “two-sided kindness” and not only among statesmen but also among ordinary people, Turkey is popular. is not.

The results of a new field survey show It is that only a small minority of the citizens of EU member states are in favor of joining Turkey. As EU leaders prepare for tough decisions on EU candidate countries’ applications, we see two different attitudes towards new members.

A minority group in Poland and Romania are in favor of recruiting new members, and another significant group in Austria, Germany, France, and Denmark say: Hold on.

10 countries in the neighborhood of the European Union are official or “potential” candidates to enter this block There are 27 countries and seven of them are located in the Western Balkans. The war between Russia and Ukraine has affected the traditional process of approving new members, and now the European Union is seeking to strengthen its geopolitical power by attracting helpers from the eastern side.

Last month, the European Commission recommended the start of formal negotiations to review the membership of Ukraine and Moldova. But Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán expressed his stubborn opposition and threatened to veto negotiations with Ukraine.

Even Christian countries have no chance, Turkey has its place

A new poll has been published by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), in which The views of citizens about attracting new members have been evaluated. The report shows that Ukraine has a relatively higher chance, but none of the current candidate countries, including Moldova, Turkey and Montenegro, are approved by EU citizens.

These findings were obtained while European Union and Western Balkans leaders prepare to discuss development at a meeting in Brussels on Wednesday ahead of critical decisions on whether to go ahead with accession applications from Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia.

In this survey, the people of 6 European countries were asked: Do you think the EU should be looking to add new members now?

This chart shows that between 35 and 40 percent of Romanian and Polish people are in favor of recruiting members are new, but in Austria, Germany, France and Denmark, the rate of approval is below 30%. But the average opinions of the people of all 6 countries are as follows:

Average of those who agree to recruit new members: 35 percent.

The average number of opponents of recruiting new members: 37 percent.

Indifferent:15 percent.

Don’t know: 13 percent.

In this survey, the people of 6 European countries were asked: Should the following countries be able to join the European Union? Turkey, Kosovo, Albania, Georgia, Serbia, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Moldova, Ukraine.

This chart shows that among the new members, Turkey faces the highest opposition. The average opinions of the people of all 6 countries are as follows:

Turkey’s membership approval: 19 percent.

Opposition to Turkish membership: 51 percent.

Indifferent: 13 percent.

Don’t know: 17 percent.

While the opposition rate of all candidates is below 40%, Turkey alone has 51% opposition and something like this is worth considering.

Austria shoots the shadow of Turkey

Views of EU citizens on the development and attraction of new members, It fluctuates among the countries surveyed, with Austrians being the most pessimistic of all respondents.

53 percent of Austrian respondents say they are against adding new members to the European Union in the short term. 72% of Austrians are against the accession of Turkey and more than half of them are against the membership of Kosovo and Ukraine.

Among the Romanian and Polish respondents, who are generally not as rich as the Austrians and do not fear losing their wealth and income, they are generally more open to joining the new countries. are much more open.

For example, only 26 percent of The Poles are against Turkey’s membership. Interestingly, Danish respondents are more likely to support Ukraine’s EU membership. Currently, 50% of Danes think that Kyiv should be able to join the union, but in Austria, this tendency is at 28%.

The results of the new report of the Union are reminiscent of the words of former British Prime Minister David Cameron, who once said: Turkey will not be able to join the European Union.
