With the pressure of EU, Turkey is actually about to resolve the Cypriotic question. EU may have a positive influence on Turkey and get a fast developing and soon very prosperious country as a member. Haku is very much influenced by French media I think. We all are influenced of course but still, it depends on if you have an optimistic view or not. I have.
I've been to Turkey and I like this country and people a lot, I even have a working pal who is Turkish, so my experience has been positive so far.
