Turkey resumed negotiations to join the EU

The solution that Erdogan has found to lighten his position at home , full of difficulties for the recent scandals involving his government team , is to resume the difficult negotiations to join the EU . It is a well-known ploy , a strategy that aims to shift the focus from internal issues of the country to the international ones . The original plan was to occupy Erdogan on his first visit to Brussels to facilitate a possible revival of the relations between the country and the establishment of the European turkish , but recent events have forced a change of plans . On the table in the meeting, in fact, were treated international issues related to the Syrian war , but also the critical issues of corruption in Turkey and , above all, the contested reform of the judicial system , which could become an additional obstacle to dialogue with the EU . The desire of the turkish government is to avoid any form of conflict with the European Union and to this end the President Erdogan will have to prove that the new reform of the judicial system was not built with the intention to stifle the investigation and complied , in its guidelines with Community rules. To this end, the government of Turkey will be ready to listen and probably incorporate the criticism from the European Union . This juncture is considered in a positive manner to the circles of the European Parliament , because it could be a considerable factor in the path to the entrance of Turkey into Europe . However, Erdogan must still clarify many obscure points about the attitude of some members of the Government deemed too corrupt , a phenomenon which is an obstacle not just for admission to Europe. Erdogan's visit was held with demonstrations in favor of the president turkish , by supporters from neighboring countries of Belgium, as a signal of the Turkish community is in favor of an official entry in the EU. This meeting also marks a new turn in the turkish president , who seemed to have recently moved away from the European perspective for the continuous waste received for the limited warranties presented on the subject of civil and political rights and the repressive attitude often used in response to events contrary to his government . The instability in the Middle East , which is directed towards the market of goods produced in Turkey, the failure of the project of a new area of ​​influence that could follow in the Ottoman Empire, based on the application of a moderate Islamic politics , they determined the need to return to turn their attention towards the more stable European Union, although crossed by a deep economic crisis , a factor that could be used just for Turkish exports . Erdogan , even if it can convince Brussels of the goodness of his innovations in terms of enjoyment of rights must always be able to overcome the distrust of Germany, France , Cyprus, which is currently the vexed question of the division of ' island , and finally the traditional aversion of Greece. He does not play in favor of the incumbent government address its confessional , which has undergone an evolution in a less moderate maneuver made ​​for the consumption of governments established by the Arab Spring , but that the reverse suffered in Egypt , it seems more be in step with the times of great uncertainty. The upheavals in Tunisia, Egypt and Algeria , which have tended to limit the excessive intrusiveness of the religious parties and the growth of importance in view of the opponents of Assad , Sunni extremists , they have replaced a good advertisement for even the most moderate Erdogan , to ' inside the European Union. All these facts portend a negotiated admission still long , which could be facilitated by a minor encroachment of Islam in Turkish politics , also come to an executive of the matrix totally secular .
