Until Turkey changes their entire political and social system, they will not be allowed to join the EU. Right now it looks like if they joined it would only cost us western European nations alot of money. GDP per capita is very low in Turkey, nothing compared to the EU countries or the US, this needs to be changed.
Literacy rating is low, the goverment needs to stimulate people to use educational facilities and if required build new schools. Access to education is below average so this requires more effort from the Turkish government.
Maybe in 5 - 10 years things will look differently for Turkey.

Very good point. Although, the average EU countries GDP per capita is 3.5 times that of Turkey. So, I think it might take more than 5-10 years for Turkey to triple its economy. Especially since its economy is only growing at 6% a year.
