Is the EU really ready to commit to Turkey?
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is feeling his oats as he renegotiates his deal with the European Union.
The longstanding relationship between Turkey and the European Union has been turned on its head. At least for now, Turkey appears to hold the power.
For a long time, Turkey seemed desperate in its courtship of the EU, while the latter was happy to keep its distance, reluctant to commit to the largely Muslim nation. Now, believing it faces an existential threat from the flow of Syrian war refugees, the EU seems eager to please.
