This book aims to analyze the common cultural values that hold the EU together. The effect of European identity on Turkey - EU relationship is examined. The EC was founded because of economic expectations but with the end of the Cold War and break down of East Europe from the USSR, identity issues began to rise as a consequential subject. The satisfaction in the economic expectations resulted with the increase in the authority of the EU as a supranational organization. At present, EU has twenty seven members. Therefore, a common culture is needed to hold the union together and to create a sense of belonging to the EU. The influence of historical and religious values on forming a European identity is examined. How does Europe perceive Turks throughout history? Why does European Union hesitate to embrace Turkey? What diversifies Turkey from the EU in the cultural aspect? The effect of cultural values on Turkey - EU relationship is analyzed. The discourses of important political leaders and thinkers on the importance of common cultural heritage and their comments on Turks and Turkey's membership process are presented.
