Should Tuekry be allowed into the EU?

???

Personally I think they should. They still have some issues to discuss about with EU, but once they fulfill all the criteria, I don't see the problem with it. It's a modern secular country, and it would bring in a fresh workforce. I don't think current EU members should be overly worried about a huge muslim population influx, as there already are millions of turks working in Germany and other EU countries. Especially since those muslims are pretty much secular compared to those from other muslim countries.

I believe the Turks you speak of, are those from the European part. In the east it's quite different.

my answer was in 20 yrs or so , beacsue turks are still old minded i don't they will feet in.

I say No, not until they sort out their racism issues, that is not something we want in Europe. As said before, a lot of turks have migrated into other countries anyway, it's not hard for them, but at the moment I don't think they have the mind-set needed and I think their attitudes in many issues needs dealing with first

yup


but why would they would actually want too is a different matter

cities like istanbul and ankara are major cosmopolitan centers that could easily mesh with the rest of europe, but large swaths of the country are still in the middle ages; that's to say nothing of turkey's repeated citations for human rights abuses, particularly in regard to the kurds

Yeah, even before the fall of the Iron Curtain Turkey was an ally of most Western European powers in the Mid East - so therefore they likely could have been in before E Euro countries. (Not to disqualify their merits)

Turkey has a lot of issues to deal with, but considering their orientations and in comparison to other nations in the area their ethnic distribution could be actually a stabilizing factor esp with a LOT of Turkish peoples or relations in Germany, et al. Kurds, Turks, Muslims and non coexist there reasonably well, and the fact that Israel is trying to join the EU - and perhaps could join before Turkey is highly suspect. (Read: they arent in Europe) Yet Turkey and Israel are strong allies due to the lack of Israel's airspace|

Why?

Turkey should be allowed to negotiate EU accession if they can realistically meet the economic, political, and social stability requirements of EU membership (assuming there is popular support for their accession in both the EU and Turkey). Although it is possible they'll make the cut in the future, I don't think it will happen any time soon.

Here's a good read: http://europa.eu.int/comm/enlargeme...endation_en.pdf

Honestly, your comments are getting more and more absurd.

Care to explain how letting in one relatively secular country with a majority Islamic population would allow Muslims to 'rule' Europe? Come to think of it, your comments are somewhat representative of the typical arguments advanced by people on the lunatic right. If racism and/or religious vilification and discrimination is the best reason people can come up with to exclude Turkey from the EU -- then all the more reason to let them in.

that is somewhat true. i would still think they could fit into the EU tho.

How exactly would you define European? If it's a country whose territorry extends over Europe, then they satisfy the criteria. If it's a country that's historically been involved in European affairs, again they meet the requirement. If their ethnicity needs to be similar to current Europeans, then let us not forget that Turkish areas were once populated by Greeks and Romans. European countries vary much in their culture and local customs that perhaps the only common denominator for every single EU member is their christian past. Turkey has had a great influence on Europe in the past, especially since they controlled practically all of Balkan peninsula. There are so many references to Turkish language and customs that you can find in previously occupied areas, especially in Bosnia, that it's reasonable to say they are in accordance with a large amount of (future) EU population. Europe, and especially southern one, would be much different without Turkish influence, and Turkey itself has adopted many European customs and traditions. But most importantly, Turkish citizens want to become a part of the EU, and they are willing to change their customs and laws even more in order to join in. They have satisfied the majority of important criteria, and frankly I can't see how they differ much from any other southern EU country. Sure, they have their own local uniquenesses, but generally they are as European as every other European country.

absurd they may be. not nearly as offensive or extreme as many posts by a certain few individuals in this forum.
