Sweden to allocate 8.5 million euros per year to Turkey to conduct reforms
20 March, 2010The Swedish Government has stated that it will provide not only political, but also financial support to the implementation of reforms in Turkey on joining EU.
The website of the Swedish Government issued a statement on intentions to develop strategic cooperation with Turkey. The statement stressed that Turkey’s joining the EU will be encouraged and supported by Sweden.
The statement also emphasized that Turkey will be supported in issues of democracy, equality and human rights. According to the statement, Turkey is one of the most important partners of Sweden, and reforms implemented in this country are of great importance.
The statement stresses that Sweden is ready to assist in the implementation in Turkey not only legal reforms, but reforms to attract women to the democratization process and projects related to minority rights. Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and the Center for Turkish-Swedish friendship under the Swedish Embassy in Istanbul will deal with coordinating the activity on development of cooperation between Turkey and Sweden.
SIDA, in particular, will provide the opportunity to Turkish students to take part in projects dedicated to human rights and democracy. Similar projects will be implemented in Turkey with Swedish students’ participation.
According to the support program of the Swedish Government for 2010-2013, 87 million Swedish krona (about 8.5 million euros) will be allocated to Turkey each year, CNN Turk reported.
Turkey is getting stricter and stricter, with the Islamic AKP Party running the show. So the Swedish government decides to fund them in an effort to “reform”, and get Turkey into the EU. I guess that this is part of the West’s fantasy of “moderate” Islam coming to the rescue, and I am sure that the money will go to good use…. Turkey is Trojan Horse to the EU, and the country should not be allowed in.
Wellllllll, this could be a good thing. However, I understand your septi-
sism, it's probably throwing money away, but I don't think the banners of
minarets will be push-overs.
Why doesn’t that surprise me. The Swedes and the Europeans are hellbent on self destruction! One day they will all wake up and smell the coffee and will be forced ask the Americans for help to save them from their own follies.
I could say the Swedish politicians are crazy but the US politicians are the same with respect to Turkey. Its a good thing Germany and France (and most Eastern European EU members) oppose Turkey's admission.
There's an interesting article on what Turkey has gotten up to recently on the Gates of Vienna blog –

With the open borders of the EU, letting them in would be a huge mistake. Especially since the PM of Turkey went to Colonge Germany and told the Muslims there not to assimilate.
Even worse, his "Governhment" have recently paid for "our" Turkish politicians to meet him for a big knees uop in Turkey, where he urged them to the same thing.
Now as I see it, one country attempting to undermine the Government of another, or its' policies, is an act of war.
But what does our head of statze do about it?
NOTHING! Not even a "No comment".
They used your name in the tag section.

LOL! Now I know I've made it when they're tracking me!
I'm a swede and I'm no friend of the turks. On the contrary I hate their f***king guts!!
I knew that you would not like this. Tonight everything is about Obamacare, I will get back to Islam in the morning Robin.
All of Eastern Europe, up to the gates of Vienna, hates the Turks.
Wonderful article buddy. This has made me enquire for lots more.
Paul the octopus is absolutely the greatest prophet 🙂
One other issue is when you are in a scenario where you will not have a cosigner then you may actually want to try to exhaust all of your financial aid options. You will find many funds and other scholarship grants that will offer you money to assist with school expenses. Thanks alot : ) for the post.
