Sheepish "I Should Know This" Question Of The Day...

[nyhuskyfan]

Is Turkey now in the Eurpoean Union?

I couldn't find an easy answer on a quick google search -- some items from last October where the EU was meeting to discuss it, but nothing definite, so I thought I'd ask here.

I feel kind of embarassed not knowing -- I guess this tid-bit got removed from my brain in the post-election trauma.

1. No. not in.

I'm doing this from memory.

2. I thought they were still waiting to see if they were accepted

Don't E.U. countries have to undergo a "trial period" before they're accepted? First they apply, then they go through a several year period of "trying to get along" and then they finally get accepted.

3. Don't think so.

Vote still upcoming, IIRC.

Don't be sheepish - someone will know. :hi:

4. Not yet. Membership fell through over Cyprus.

5. No, and I don't see it in the near future

Last year EU and Turkey agreed on a date to start the negotiations :)
