As Turkey waits to be told that it can start EU membership talks, Internal Market Commissioner Frits Bolkestein (Holland) said the country should stay outside. In his new book ‘The Limits of Europe’, F. Bolkestein says that Turkey should act as a “buffer” protecting Europe from Syria, Iran and Iraq, the Financial Times reports. However, Frits Bolkestein is not the first to express reservations about Turkey’s EU membership. Germany’s Christian Democrats are against Turkey joining the EU. Moreover, former French President Valery Giscard d’Estaing said that Turkish membership would mark “the end of the European Union”.
