Never heard of Mr. Rar. He isn´t even a CDU-member, as I read it. Mrs. Merkel is opposed to the admission of Turkey to the EU, like 60% of all Europeans, and she is very reluctant of further expansions. From our view, we should first get used to the EU of 25 before accepting new offers from other countries. In the long run it is very likely that the Ukraine becomes a EU-member - unlike Turkey or Russia. But the Ukraine would also be the eastern frontier.
As I through.

I agree with you about Ukraine. Nobody expect that Ukraine will join immediately, they are not ready anyway. What is important to give them a prospect of the membership.
I think that sooner or later European elites will try to push in Turkey as well.
