The European Union (EU) has raised the argument that East Anatolia and Southeast Anatolia regions of Turkey contain relatively less developed provinces than the others in its annual progress reports. Regional inequalities are also stressed in the last progress report issued on 6th December 2004 by the EU. In this paper, this argument has been tested by applying multivariate statistical techniques (principal component analysis and cluster analysis) to 26 development indicators grouped as economic, social, educational and health variables. The results of empirical analysis indicated that all provinces in East Anatolia and Southeast Anatolia do not appear as a separate group.
