Summary/Abstract: Turkey’s European Union (EU) membership process started with its associate membership application in 1959. In 1963, Ankara Agreement was signed but because of many different reasons the process has not completed yet. There are many reasons that caused this process to be so long. Some of these reasons are; political, economic, religious and cultural and some of them are closely related to the population and geography. The process has gained speed with the 1999 Helsinki Decisions and the Negotiations started in 2005 but there are still some impediments.
