Turkish Youth See EU Membership as ‘Dream’ Chance for More Freedoms, Jobs: Survey

ANKARA: Turkish youth see possible future membership of the EU as a “dream” chance for more freedoms and job opportunities in their country, a survey has revealed.

The German Marshall Fund of the US (GMF) study found that 66.2 percent of the 18- to 25-year-olds quizzed would welcome Turkey being accepted into the EU.

But one-third of them believed it would never happen, and one-fifth felt that if it did, it would not be for at least another 15 years.
