Turkey is an enormous present on Europe’s doorstep. Speaker: Professor Norman Stone
Arguing against the motion ‘Let’s keep Turkey out of Europe’, Norman Stone asserts that Turkey’s history mirrors that of Spain, now one of Europe’s greatest success stories. The EU has a crucial opportunity to influence Turkey, to shape it, and create an entirely new civilisation. Europe should mean something for Turkey the way it held promise for post-Second World War populations. Turkey is an enormous present on Europe’s doorstep.
