The Baklava of EU

Today we had an interesting meeting with the journalists of Zaman Daily in Istanbul. The Director explained how the country felt that it has been jerked around by the EU and whether the latter would ever accept Turkey. It would be interesting to see if the "perception" of Turkey's people that the EU is a 'Christian club that does not want a Muslim country' is made realistic.

In response to my question about changes internally in Turkey, the Director of the paper said that education is the big change. Many more students are getting educated, and more good schools, colleges and Universities have opened for students. This bodes well for the country.
