Most Greeks Oppose Turkey's EU Membership



From the press release:
A public opinion poll commissioned by To Vima newspaper, published in Athens, Greece to Kapa Research pollster center has found that only 39.7 percent of Greeks support Turkey's bid to join the European Union, while 56.5 percent are against it. The survey also has found that only 38.5 percent of respondents are optimistic about prospects for settling the Cyprus problem and 39.4 percent believe that the united island will be in the European Union.
By the way, the above picture is that of Cyprus, the Northern portion of the island which was invaded and divided by Turkey in 1974. Just as we are trying to set history straight, they are trying to unify their beautiful island. However, it's clear from the poll numbers that they're not too optimistic that any of that would happen with Turkey's entry into the EU, just as we Armenians must realize that if it were to happen without precondition, our cause could be lost entirely.
