And I strongly recommend to start a petition or inquiery on the Web to know wether we want Turkey to be part of the EU or NOT. for me it is a not, regarding all 'things' going on in Turkey and considering its hostaging of the EU in the case of the refugees.

I beg you to reconsider the position of academics and permit universities and colleges to teach and research freely.
