Within the EU ?

I’m always asking myself whether I will ever see Turkey within the EU ranks. Some are pleased about EU’s expansion, whereas other are worried. The latter stress that the EU has forsaken real Europe within itself and will lose its cultural and social structure and its real identity. Some also think that the economically strained former communist members will cause trouble for their more developed EU partners. They also fear that unemployed masses will spread across the EU. Some are right in stressing that the Eastern European members with their low birth rates won’t bring dynamic labor, but will instead add to the EU’s burden.

I’m watching the EU’s path to a new future. Will its new colors complement each other or will they clash? This truly concerns me. The technology ushering in the 21st century threw colors away. Now there is glut of colors which is unstoppable. One can’t put these color differences back into Pandora’s Box. You either turn it into a harmony of colors or bungle the whole thing like a child in primary school learning to paint.

The last two decades of the 20th century put an end to the two-tier economy, but one colored liberal democracy didn’t end. The conflict between the rich and the poor didn’t serve Marx’s thesis within countries, but he remains correct about clashes between states. There will be conflict as long as Islamic countries in the Middle East supply 64% of the world’s energy, but use only 4% of it. The essence of the drama of Western civilization and Islamic civilization is a mass of conflicts based on economic sharing.

I think one of the greatest projects of the 21st century is the synergy between Turkey, a Muslim-majority country, and the EU, a product of Western civilization. Turkey is the key to the 21st century, while the door is the EU itself.”
