The fact that there are differences bewtween cultures makes not one bit of difference. Turky will be allowed in the EU, for two reason. Its the gateway to oil and to the middle east. It carries on furthering the actual cause of the EU.

Being accepted in the EU has stipulations. One being debt to income ratio, GDP growth, and several other economic factors. Secondly, the people of member EU countries must ratify new countries to joining.
Based on that Turkey won't be joining anytime soon. The French and the Dutch have already rejected the EU constitution based upon the consideration of Turkey being accepted.
