Türkiye ve Avrupa Birliği, kalkınmanın sosyal, ekonomik, politik ve kültürel yönlerinde iyi bir ortaklık kurmuştur. Bu makale, tarihsel hermenötiği kullanarak ve Türkiye'nin AB üyeliğine katılım yolculuğunu inceleyerek, Türkiye’nin Avrupa'ya kabul edilme olasılığını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamakta ve Türkiye'nin katılım sürecine ilişkin tutumuna açıklık getirmektedir. Bu inceleme aynı zamanda, hevesli bir devletin etkili bir küresel organizasyona katılma yolculuğunu ve üyelik için zorluklarını ve çabalarını anlamamızı sağlar. Bu makale, Türkiye'nin AB üyelik yolculuğunun belirsizlik ve muğlaklıkla karakterize olduğunu savunuyor. Türkiye'nin AB'ye kabul edilme olasılığı, insan hakları sorunu, Kıbrıs sorunu, AB üyelerinin onayı gibi tüm iç ve dış zorlukların ve Türkiye'nin AB'ye katılım gerekliliklerine uyumunun önündeki tüm engellerin ortadan kaldırılmasında yatmaktadır.

Accession Journey of Turkey to The European Union Membership

Öz

Turkey and the European Union established a good partnership in social, economic, political, and cultural aspects of development. By utilizing historical hermeneutics and examining the accession journey of Turkey into the EU membership, this review aims to assess the possibility of the Turkey admission to the European and gives clarity to Turkey’s stance on the accession process. This review also allows us to understand an aspiring state's journey towards joining an influential global organization and its challenges and efforts for membership. This paper argues that Turkey's journey to EU membership was characterized by uncertainty and vagueness. The possibility of Turkey’s admission to the EU lies in eliminating all the internal and external challenges such as the human rights issue, the Cyprus problem, the approval of the EU members, and all barriers that hindered Turkey’s compliance with the EU accession requirements.
