The English version of the micro-site entitled “Myths vs Facts on Turkey-EU Relations” (https://dby.ikv.org.tr/en) prepared by IKV Experts was recently launched. The micro-site aims to alter the common misperceptions spread among the European audience regarding Turkey-EU relations and Turkey’s EU membership. In 2014, a Turkish version was launched with the aim of correcting common misperceptions and misunderstandings on the EU and Turkey-EU relations among the Turkish public opinion.

Social, economic and political reforms undertaken during the negotiation process affect all levels of society. Considering that the accession of Turkey in the EU will have tremendous effects for both Turkish and European citizens, IKV decided to launch this micro-site by integrating debates on the latest developments in Turkey-EU relations.
