Continued protest actions against enter of Turkey into Europian Union was the focus of group gatherings at the centre of Prague, near MUSEUM metro station on 29 of July 2005. Jusef Zhelents and Tomash Zatloukala, members of Europian Parliament spoke at the meeting about continued human rights violations of Kurdish minorities and the overall status of human rights in Turkey, including the rights of women. Much of the problem, however, is one of an economic nature. The concern is that membership in the European Union would open the floodgates of cheap labor flooding into Europe and how Turkey would serve as a conduit of labor from other Muslim countries.

According to polling conducted by VOICE FOR EUROPE, 52% of Czech population is against the entrance of Turkey into the European Union. Czechs are not alone in their disdain and objections, other protests were organized in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Luxemburg and other Europian cities, and 51% of the population polled in these cities would vote against the entrance of Turkey into the European Union. And still there is the unresolved and controversial issue of the recognition of the 1915 Armenian genocide that is considered as a major stumbling block for full-fledged membership on equal footing into the EU.
