What Would Ataturk Do?
The battle between reformers and the state has been taking place in Turkey for over a century. Ataturk's rebellion, begun in 1908, established the secular republic we know today.

Greece, a small country on the tip of the Balkan Peninsula, was the poorest member by far when it joined the EU's predecessor in 1981.
