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.
If don't think so.
France voted NON to the last EU treaty it were more a no to Turkey than to the treaty. There is big opposition among the people against having Turkey join the EU and goverments will be voted out if they call for Turkish membership and I don't think they will take that chance.
