The material mainly come form party programmes and from German news papers but there are also some material from German television.
The result shows a division between the parties. The Social Democrats, the Environmental Party and the Left Party all advocate a Turkish membership in the EU. The Christian Democrats want to have a special cooperation with Turkey instead of a full membership. In the middle of all parties is the Free Democratic Party who wants the future to decide if Turkey is going to be a member or not.
The main characters of the debate are the two biggest parties the Social Democrats and the Christian Democrats. (Less)
