Abstract
The Turkey's candidacy to become member of the European Union implies a challenge for both. Turkey mus to undertake the necessary reforms to adapt the legacy of Ataturk to the democreatic standars and the rule of law upon which the European Unionnn is founded. The Eruopean Union, for its part, needs to resolve financial questions, being Turkey a very poor state could exhaust the European coffers devoted to solidarity between member states; institutional questions, because Ankara, in medium term, will become the capital of the most populous state of the European group with all the political weight it implies, at the same level than the main states of nowadays; and philosophical questions related with its very nature, given the fact that 99% of Turkish population is Muslim though the state is officially lay. Along with all this, there is the Cyprus question, a member state of the European Union with 1/3 of their land occupied by Turkey.
