    The correct answer is D) is a predominately Muslim nation.

    Criticism over Turkish accession to the EU included all of the following except that it is a predominately Muslim nation.

    European Union members have raised many questions about Turkey being a permanent member of the UN. The arguments they express is that Turkey has leaders who have sided against other European countries in world conflicts, has not ensured the rights of freedom of expression, and one of the most important is that it has not formally recognized the Armenian genocide.

    Criticism over Turkish accession to the EU include all of the following except that it has leaders who have sided against other European countries in world conflicts, as that has not happened recently.

    Explanation:

    The first problem that arises for the entry of Turkey into the Union is its geographical situation. Although a small part of its territory is in Europe, the truth is that the Anatolian Peninsula (which makes up the largest part of the country) is located geographically in Asia, which is a basic problem, since the Union only allows entry to European states. Even so, what is usually alleged from Turkey is that there is a small part of its territory that is European, so it would have the right to enter the European Union.

    The second major problem for entry into the Union is a cultural issue. In spite of the fact that Turkey has undergone a great process of transformation towards a more secular society in recent years, the truth is that it remains a culturally Muslim country. This is a big problem, since in the European Union all countries have a secular Christian-based culture. From many European sectors it is thought that letting a Muslim country into the Union could cause serious problems of understanding. In fact, this issue has also stopped the entry to other countries, as is the case of Albania, which although a country located entirely in Europe, has an important Muslim community, which arose precisely after the occupation of the area by the Ottoman Empire in the fourteenth century.

    Turkey's third major problem in accessing the Union is the occupation that the Turks still maintain from the north of the island of Cyprus. The island is divided in two. To the south is the Republic of Cyprus, with a predominantly Greek Cypriot population, internationally recognized and a member of the European Union. To the north of the island lies the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, only recognized by Turkey.
