Turks.US - Fine-tuning for the EU

This article offers a good summary of the opinions for and against Turkey's membership into the EU.

"The opponents of Turkish entry argue that the candidate country's population is too large for the EU to digest; its economy is too poor to develop to the union's standards; it is not located in Europe and will stretch the EU borders to the unstable Middle East; and finally that it does not belong to Europe culturally as it is overwhelmingly Muslim."
