Friend Kubrat,after getting responded in his each assumption about why Turkiye should not be in Europe,this funny kid must have thought he could mock at least with our country's english name....And i wanted to give this boy a little historical lesson.Thats all
what do you think about Turkiye's membership?i actually would value your opinion very much in this context.

Turkey EU entry as big as 'D-Day'
|
Joschka Fischer said Turkey was "heavyweight" | German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer has said Turkish entry to the European Union would be as important for Europe as the D-Day invasion 60 years ago. |

It will be important?Now that's really a joke!The thing that will be important from it's entry is the problems that it will cause.It's different to have a minority of Turks from having a whole state inside the E.U.A state with a terrible economic situation,a state that thinks how can save money for more weapons,a state with a corruption four times bigger than Greece,a state where the slavers exploit their fellow Asians sending them to Greece and the rest of Europe.But the important thing is a state servant to the USA.A state that threatens a European country everyday.Of course Fischer does not know all that or he just plays the duck as E.U knows to play it well.The eastern European countries of course do not have any problem because they simply want to show America that can be good pets in NATO.As for Britain the usual story:What America says is the law.

A better question might be whether we should evaluate the admission to EU based upon cultures, political reasons, or geographical condition.
Turkey is geographically located in western Europe. It is also EU's interest to expand to the East for political reasons.
But Turkey is however culturally less European than some nations such as Canada, Australia, Russia.

I think everyone should be allowed to join the EU, and it's name should be changed to the "Everyone Union".

It couldn't exist an "Everyone Union" so easily because there are many political,econimical,cultural,social differences between Europe and the rest of the world(mainly Asia and Africa).You're wrong coolstorm.Turkey is in Asia and only a small part,a really small part is in the Balkans.Another mistake you've done is that you said "less European".My friend,Turkey is not European at all!I do not think tha E.U would like to expand in an unstable area(Iran,Iraq,Syria,Kurdistan) where there is no sign of economic prosperity and with the constant danger to get involved in a bloody war with a great political,economical cost and with a great cost in lives.

It's your category my friend.And you know sth?I've made you a favor because you're not even Arabs.We are neighbors so of course we know what kind of people you are.Do not be pathetic talking about Hellenism,because it's the only thing your miserable country showed in the Eurovision contest as "Turkey's touristic places".

But do not forget none of the tourist places were created by Turks. There is no pan-hellenism in these postings, I guess its just a common thought that Turkey does not belong in the E.U. IF they did Greece would greatly benefit and it would help our country economically, but you see, the line must be drawn somewhere, and this is where we think it should.
