Turkey’s EU Bid Discussed at Columbia

A symposium was held by the Columbia University Turkish Student Association, the Ari Movement, and the Turkish Industrialist and Businessmen Association (TUSIAD) to discuss whether or not the US should continue to support Turkey’s EU bid.

Phillips says the EU should be extremely careful about Turkey’s membership because a negative decision will send an impression that the millions of Muslims living in Europe are second class citizens, thereby fueling radicalism among Muslims.
