National or European

[Rhyfelwyr]

Traditionally they have claimed that the people of each separate nation are superior to the rest, but what do you think this embrace of a wider Europe is? It is simply expanding their concept of a 'pure race' to fit all Europeans. Europeans don't share a common language or culture, so what else is there that links them aside from geography?Say what you will, but that's what it looks like to me.

I don't think you could be further off the mark here, Vuk.

As to your question in bold, you answered it yourself - geography alone means that the European countries have more shared interests in terms of trade, defence etc. Race and even culture doesn't have much to do with it, all that matters is that you are a liberal democracy that accepts human rights etc - this is where some of Turkey's problems come in.
