Support for Turkey membership in EU falters
A study finds the majority of Danish voters
sceptical about Turkey joining the EU
The majority of Danes are opposed to Turkey joining
the EU, according to a study conducted by Rambøll
Management for daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
The study found that 55 percent of Danes were
opposed to Turkey joining the EU.
The results come as Turkey's prime minister, Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, joins NATO allies for a
parliamentary gathering in Denmark on Monday.
Among voters in parties to the right - the
Conservative, Liberal, and Danish People's Parties -
support is even more limited: 69 percent said they
were opposed to Turkish membership.
Age and income were also two factors that were
connected to whether one supported Turkish
membership. The study found the older one is and the
higher one's income is, the less likely one is to
support Turkish membership.
Social Democrats were also opposed to Turkey joining
the EU, with 54 percent of Social Democrats polled
giving a thumbs-down
