Abstract: Abstract Turkey strengthened progressively its political and economic ties with the European Union, until the opening of accession negotiations. This historical event seemed to be the deciding step for the entry of Ankara into the EU, but it was followed by a wide series of problems and strains between the parties. The chapter retraces the stages of Turkey’s European path and investigates the deepest reasons underlying the hostility showed by a part of Europe towards Turkey. A central issue within the debate about Turkey’s possible membership is the European identity, because many observers argue that the country is not European and cannot therefore join the Union. In order to clarify this important point, the historical evolution of the idea of Europe is specifically described and analysed.Such dissertation about bilateral relations is completed by some excerpts from a European Commission’s communication in matter of enlargement.
