EU partially freezes Turkey talks

European Union foreign ministers recently decided to stop talks between the Eu and Turkey for admittance into the European Union. This decision was met after Turkey once again refused to open its ports and airports on Cyprus to Cypriot or Greek traffic.

In class during the last chapter we learned a great deal about the European Union and what it does. This conflict on Cyprus between Turkey and The Cypriots has been going on for years, and it is one of the driving forces that is not allowing for Turkey's acceptance into the European Union. Personally I feel that Turkey will not be admitted into the European Union until they allow for their airports and ports to be opened in Cyprus. But then again, however, the turkish population on Cyprus has been treated fairly bad and I do not blame them for not opening up their airports and ports to Cypriot traffic. Overall though, I think that it would benefit both Turkey and the European Union to solve these problems, because both Turkey and the European Union would benefit from being united. Hopefully, these two countries can work out there differences and take steps to becoming united.
