EU enlargement promises benefits for both the older member states and the newer ones;the most important goal of the enlargement is the extention of the zone of peace, stability and prosperity in Europe.
However, enlargement also poses some problems.The member states have got also different cultures and histories.They have got also different economical levels or school.We analysed Turkey's situation.Turkey consists of two parts:the first one is very rich and shows more than the rest of the countries a Western culture, the second one is very poor and it has got Muslim cultura and religios.
An other problem is its size:Turkey is too large and if it enters EU ,it will become the member with the heaviest vooting weight.In this way it will certainly influence European decisions.In our progect we focuses our attention also on religion and the relatival problems. As a matter of fact Turkey is Muslim.
The iusse is not Islamism, as a matter of fact EU respects religous freedom, the real problem is an other: in Turkey law and religion are not divided; they are the same thing.
Our interviews demostrates that all problems are very important.
We press on the idea that there is not enough information about EU enlargement.Moreover there are not deep competences into mass-media informations.In addition to this we understood also that young people are not interested in European problems.
Moreover there is still a big difference between young people and old people.
The latter press on the idea that it is very important to preserve traditions and cultures; vice versa young people are in favour of a strong changes.
In order to do a personal comment I can say that a possibility for countries to entry into EU must be given.
