The European community proceeds from the European identity and 2 conditions are taken into account at the enlargement: the contender state belonging to Europe and recognition of EU values by it. Based on that 2 questions should be raised at the discussion of Turkey's accession to the EU. These are: whether Turkey is a European state and part of the European identity, as well as whether she respects European values. German Middle East expert Peter Scholl-Latour considers that at Turkey's accession to the EU the spread of Islam unavoidable. Of course the EU can impose its orders and conditions to candidate country, however from the moment of accession each country is an equal member. Islam is today followed by 20 million people in the European community and it would be the second religious community in united Europe. The European community itself would have changed radically resulting from that, while allegedly was «more European lately, Europe will become «more Turkish» at its accession to the EU.» At that Turkey has better chances of EU accession than typically European states that were unfortunately under the Ottoman yoke - Serbia, Albania, Bosnia, Macedonia. By Turkey's accession the united Europe would have acquired many foreign political hardships and if the accession does not take place, it will be more proper and honest towards Ankara. It is better to promise solid partnership instead of utopian EU membership, reported Die Tagespos.
