But Turkey’s EU aspirations mean that it is now being forced to demilitarize its democracy and to find negotiated and peaceful agreements with all its neighbors and future partners – Armenians, Kurds, and Cypriots. Thus, if Europe manages to overcome its fears and hesitations and open itself to a powerful Muslim state, it will consolidate peace in one of the world’s most dangerous regions.
但是土耳其的入盟企望意味着它正在被迫将其民主非军事化，并且同其所有邻国和未来的伙伴寻求谈判协商的和平协议。他们包括亚美尼亚人、库尔德人以及塞浦路斯人。这样，如果欧洲得以克服其恐惧和迟疑，向一个强大的穆斯林国家开放，那么，欧洲将在世界上最为危险的地区之一巩固和平。
