The Romanian-Turkish Relationships: The View of the Romanian Students
This
article aims to provide an image on the Romanian-Turkish relationships from the
perspective of the Romanian students. The rationale of the research lays on the
importance of the perception the host country has about different groups of diasporas
in the evolution of the relationships between countries. The study has an
explorative value and adds to the existed empirical studies that investigate
the image of the bilateral relationships between countries. The research has
been conducted on 187 students from different universities from Romania. The
main results identified a good image of Turkey, despite a less good opinion on
the relations between the two countries over time; the students consider that
the Romanian-Turkish relations have a good development potential; students are
relatively reluctant about Turkey's accession to the European Union; the image
of the traditional Turkish minority in Romania is a good one.
