50 years of United Europe

Turning the common ideals into reality?
I celebrate all the Europe family on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of Rome Treaty.


Until it will be replaced by the European Constitution, the Rome Treaty of 1957 remains the Foundation of European Union.
I have a dream for a better world. I respect how Europe found a way to heal and reconstruct after the ruins of WWII. Even if I was against the globalization with the knowledge of the obstacles and disadvantages created by that, I am also convinced with the benefits created for the societies. I believed on the unity of Europe taking into consideration that the world should be a place of peace and prosperity.

The rule of law, democracy, human rights and equal participation were important assets of Europe. I witness the wealth and the living conditions in Europe. I believed in the values of Europe. EU has achieved a lot in regional development, social security, education and other social developments. Even education developed in EU come up with many good practices including the achievements in non-formal education and innovation.

Unfortunately nowadays I see a big intention to be closing inside in EU. I do not see the real signs of action for becoming a real power in the world. EU could not establish itself as a power in international relations, security, and energy issues. Climate change and sustainable development are still two big question marks for EU.

EU has tendency to become a “fortress” by closing its borders to any immigrants and xenophobia is rising. The discrimination inside the societies is rising rapidly. Fundamentalism is also increasing. As the role of civil society in EU is essential, new ways must be founded to attach the citizens into the politics and civic life again.

EU can not stop the enlargement in this very important stage. The candidature of Turkey is a important development for the future prosper and happy Europe. Turkey can provide the needed both active young human resources and natural resources.

We should search new ways on working together and sharing prosperity and peace in the region. Let’s work together for a common future!
We can achieve…Let's turn the common ideals to reality...
