Sophie,

That survey is done and published by Turks.This means we are not hiding the ill,wild and primitive customs of our south eastern people (Irak border area,Turkish Kurds).This tradition of killing women when they deceive their husbands is definitly practiced in only around that area not all over Turkey.And the international human smugglers in mr Pipes' article are also these people.

But you dont be panic that Turks will ruin your culture once they are in the EU.Because we will not join to EU.After 10 or 20 years of improvements EU people will have the right to say NO to Turkey in the referendums.Also EU governments decided to give very little money to prepare for membership. Everybody knows that this is a game. Just relax.
