Eye On The Middle East: 
Comments
@Harry In recent years Turkey has relaxed its desire to join the EU, so it's unlikely that their economy is functioning for the purpose of eventual inclusion. In fact, amid the Europe's current economic climate the saying on the streets of Turkey is, "Turkey shouldn't join the EU, the EU should join Turkey."
what does accentuated mean
@Harry Not sure if that's true. It's no secret that Turkey wants to be a part of the European Union. But to say that they have modeled their economy completely for that purpose is, in my opinion, a bit of a stretch.
Liberate Kurdistan!
don't you think that turkey's economy is functioning in a sense to legitimize their push to be a part of the EU?
