The bending of Europe's boundaries

"Turkey is not Europe but Asia, said Nicolas Sarkozy during the televised debate with his Socialist rival Segolene Royal. In other words, Asia Minor - birthplace of the third century Christian saint after whom the [victorious] presidential candidate was named - is not Europe", notes the journalist Machalis N. Katsigeras. "So there is de Gaulle's vision of Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals, the Crusaders' idea of a Catholic Europe, the Christian Europe of the Holy Alliance, Hitler's New Europe, the New Europe of the enlargement-planners in Brussels. ... Europe's borders, particularly to the east, were never clear. Geography may provide some answers but historical, cultural and anthropological factors complicate matters."
