Turkey Begins Talks with European Union

By Turker | Published: October 3, 2005

It is hard to believe that Turkey was trying to be in the European Union for the last 40 years. Finally, we are one step closer for EU membership as Turkey and European Union has reached to an agreement just hours ago. It is amazingly sad that a nation had to work for almost four decades to start talks for a possible membrship. This is just the first step! It could take for almost a decade for the union to extend further to include Turkey. Nevertheless, this is a historic day for Turkey and the EU.
