Almost half of Europeans – 49% – believe that Turkey will never ever join the EU or join the European Union after 10 years or more. This is evidenced by results of a survey conducted by the French research company Ifop and the British company Populus.
On the question of “when, in your opinion, Turkey will join the EU” only 17% of French, 27% of Germans and 38% of Britons said that Turkey will join the EU in the next 10 years. 29% of the UK citizens, 28% of French and 15% of Germans had difficulties to answer this question.
