Value of Heritage in Turkey: History and Politics of Turkey's World Heritage Nominations
Atakuman, Çiğdem (2010-01-01)
Following Bulgaria's and Romania's accession into the European Union, EU expansion has reached its final frontier with the process of Turkey's prospective integration, through which both Europe's and Turkey's respective cultural identities have been under negotiation.
