Turkey and the EU have recently (December 2013) concluded the early steps to form a roadmap to VISA free Schengen Zone entry. However, there are a number of issues that Turkey must rectify before its citizens will have VISA free entry to the Schengen Zone, such as asylum laws. It will likely be several years, at the very least, before VISA free travel for Turkish citizens in the Schengen Zone is even a possibility.
What else can I help you with?
Can you visit Schengen countries if have Romanian residency?
Romania is not yet a member of the Schengen Area. It is not your residency which decides if you need a visa for the Schengen Area, it is your nationality. Romania is due to join the Schengen Area in 2013. Once this happens, all legal Romanian residents will be able to travel freely anywhere in the Schengen Area.
Will Cyprus join the Schengen Area?
According to the EU-Cyprus Accession Treaty, Cyprus is required to eventually join the Schengen Area. However, the current "border arrangement" that Cyprus has with the illegitimate Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a serious stumbling block to implementing the border security requirements necessary for Schengen. As a result, the earliest that Cyprus may be able to join Schengen will be in 2016, but likely will not happen for many more years.

How does the Schengen agreement impact the UK?
what impact does the Schengen Agreement have on the UKAnswerThe biggest impact is that you need to go through passport control when travelling between the UK and the rest of the EU (exc. Ireland). (Although EU citizens can show ID cards instead of passports if their countries have them - Britain and Ireland don't). It also means that passport control is required at all Eurostar stations, and considerably complicates extending cross-channel train journeys past London St Pancras.For those not able to enter the UK without a visa (Russians, non-EU Eastern Europeans, most Africans, most Asians, Bolivians & Colombians), the biggest impact is requiring a UK visa to enter the UK, wheras a visa from one Schengen state covers the entire Schengen zone.Travel between Schengen countries does not have passport/ID checks, except in exceptional circumstances.If Britain joined the Schengen zone, it would mean no more long queues at airports for passport checks when returning from mainland Europe, and tourists with a Schengen visa could include the UK on their itinerary - and Ireland would no longer be prevented from joining (joining at present would require border controls to be instated on the mostly open border with Northern Ireland).However, it would also mean - in practice - that any illegal immigrants who have reached continental Europe (e.g. visa overstayers, or via the Mediterranean) despite the security at external Schengen borders would have unrestricted access to the UK (i.e. instead of stowing away on ferries, they could simply buy train, plane, ferry or coach tickets), where it is arguably easier to hide than on the Continent due to a lack of police checking ID and no mandatory registration of addresses.This is a major reason the UK is not in the Schengen zone, particular for anti-immigration tabloids.

Can you travel to Spain with a Schengen Visa?
The UK is not a part of the Schengen Area however if you are a national of a country which doesn't require a visa to visit the UK then you will be able to travel there with just your passport. A Schengen Visa is a visa which allows the holder to visit any country which is part of the Schengen Agreement. Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland are the present Schengen countries (as of May 2009). Liechtenstein is expected to fully sign-up later this year. Also there are no border controls between San Marino, Vatican City and Italy or between Monaco and France. Separate visas are still needed for visits to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus and other European countries. Schengen countries are those where border controls have been abolished so there are no longer any passport checks on borders and it's often difficult to know if you've actually crossed a border. Note that there are still customs checks between Schengen countries where one is an EU member (for example, Sweden) and the other is not part of the EU (for example, Norway). All Schengen countries require people to carry some form of ID with them (whether they are a visitor or a national or resident of that country). To apply for a Schengen visa you should apply to the embassy of the first country you intend to visit. If you plan to visit Italy, France and Spain (in that order) then you only need to apply to the Italian embassy and your visa is good for France and Spain too. European Union and EEA citizens don't need any visas to travel within the EU or Schengen countries. Croatians don't need any kind of visa for travel in Italy, Slovenia or Hungary but do need a visa if they intend to go elsewhere in the EU. Americans and Canadians may need a visa for some EU countries.

Why did Turkey try to destroy its Kurdish citizens' culture?
Answer 1Turkey did not try to destroy the Kurdish culture. To preserve the territorial integrity of Turkey everyone that lives within the borders of Turkey are considered to be Turks and everyone is treated equally.Answer 2Part of Kemal Ataturk's attempt to create a unified Turkish Republic in 1923 was to prevent further fragmentation of the country. This problem was acute given the fact that Treaty of Versailles (1919) had ripped away 2/3 of the Ottoman Territory and the Treaty of Sèvres (1920) took even more territory away from Turkey and would have established French and British Spheres of Influence. There had also been several wars in the Balkans which cost Ottoman territory in the 1910s. (Ataturk was able to overturn the Treaty of Sèvres in 1923 with the Treaty of Lausanne, which restored some Turkish Territory and prevented the spheres of influence.) In order to establish a united Turkish identity, he felt it necessary to establish common cultural views to promote the unity of Turkey's citizenry. If some "Turks" did not have a Turkish sense of self, they may seek to form an independent country to express their cultural tendency (just as many of the Balkan states had).The Kurds were the largest group of Turkish citizens who were not ethnic Turks. As a direct result of fearing that the Kurds would attempt to form their own country, the Turks repressed their cultural expression in an attempt to de-Kurd-ify them and Turk-ify them. The fear of Kurdish revolt is not terribly surprising given the Kurdish revolts in Iraq in 1925 and in Iran in 1928. The Turkish government under Erdogan has been the first to recognize that while Turkish Kurds are Turkish citizens, that they can have a Kurdish culture and still be loyal Turkish citizens.
