Who's the Turkey: the EU or Turkey?

Why Europe is talking (quietly) to Turkey

Next Monday the European Union will talk with Turkey about a regime change by allowing Turkey to possibly join the EU. This is similar to the U.S. in that they too are in the process of providing a regime change to Turkey’s neighbor. However, the manner in which the EU handles this is much quieter: they hand Turkey their 80,000 pages of EU regulations instead of flattening the country with tanks. There is, however, mixed feelings within the EU about allowing Turkey to join the EU because of its past. EU members and politicians are weighing the pros and cons.
