Turkish Children on "Europe"
I was doing some research on the end of the Cold War and found this in an article of Le Monde Diplomatique from 2005.WHAT do Turkish children think of when you speak of Europe ?
“It means a holiday resort.”
“It's a place that has one and a half months of holiday.”
“It's the furthest country of the world.”
“The European Union must be a big cloud.” (He can only have got that from seeing the expressions on his parents' faces when they're watching television news about the EU.)
Six-year-old Ceren says he feels that Europe
means “peace”.
Six-year-old Ataberk says that it means "to make up after you've had a fight".
