Abstract :At the beginning of the book, Sandro Fontana examines the present situation in Europe and those Muslim countries which would like to be part of it and whose citizens constitute the big postwar migratory flow. He recognises Muslim but secular Turkey`s preeminent role and dwells upon the 40plus years of Turkey`s efforts to be part of Europe. But he wishes greater democratic development for the new Turkey and her greater adaptation to the spirit of Europe. He sees it as a prerequisite that Turkey find a solution to the Cyprus problem and the Kurdish question, but gives no indication of what these solutions may be. The author hopes that Europe does not push hard on Turkey since Europe needs Turkey and not vice versa.
