Given a modern world that resides around globalization, Turkey should be added to the EU in order to fuel trading and benefit the world economy. One of Turkey's key benefits is its location. Situated near the east, Turkey is able to do lots of business with places in Asia. With a large amount of trading going on, Turkey is a very economical place. Money wise, it would only be beneficial to include Turkey in the EU. If Turkey joins, the EU will be able to get many of the products exported from Turkey that other places in Europe lack. Supplies like gas and oil coming from Asia would widely benefit most nations in Europe. Although some would argue that Turkey has ignored certain human rights, allowing Turkey to even better their economy will end up improving their society as well. This has be proven in some developing nations like India. Now as their economy is rapidly getting better, the people of India are starting to raise awareness about the inequality in their country. Using India as an example, it goes to show that Turkey will also improve its human rights in society as the economy gets better and the turkish people start demanding change. Another reason why Turkey should be added to the EU is because their is an "increasingly well-educated population can help the EU cope with the problems of an ageing population " (bbc). This is true for multiple reasons. Young people in turkey have witnessed what has gone wrong in their politics and society. They know more than anyone what needs to happen to improve their country. .
With new political leaders rising from Turkey, previous issues that the EU brings up against Turkey will have a likelier chance of being resolved. However with the recent economic changes in Europe, it might not be much of an advantage to have Turkey in the EU. There has been a high unemployment rate in Greece and Spain that is causing Europe lots of trouble. Many people are out of jobs and the economy in those nations is slowly decaying.
