TURKEY in the EU?
 

After all this cartoon confusion, what you think of TURKEY in the European Union?
Does 80 million persons (turkey population) worth this kind of confusion (eventualy)? Culturaly, They have nothing to do with the rest of the Europe.
I say NO.

The day KFC starts a new menu called the bird flu sandwich then Turkey will be part of the EU.

Yeh so a part is in Europe big deal, they're muslims and guess what the EU is a Christian club, they have no human rights, ripe with coruption, no civil liberties, no free press, the list goes on.

EU leaders are humoring them pretending to listen to their application to enter the EU. No one in Eorope really wants them in and it's for the best.

They don't belong in the EU and that's all there is to say about the subject.

yes, they dont belong in the EU, short and simple

fuck turkey. i hate turkish people (of cause there are exceptions); most of the 13-25 year olds are fucking trouble makers over here.

i think only about 3% of turkey are on the europe continent, so fuck off :321GFY :321GFY :321GFY

i´m not a racist, but i´ve had mostly bad experience with this folk...:Oh crap

Turkey is an asian country, not a european one, so it has no place in the EU.
If you accept Turkey, then you have to accept, Morocco, Egypt, Indonesia, Japan,...

no problem with me

Wrong. Turkey is on both the Asian and European continent. A so-called bi-continental country.

Anyone who has something against a country that they have never been to is too bloody ignorant be worthy of making a statement of such magnitude against turkey. I have spent a lot of time in turkey which happens to be one of europeans most frequently visited vacation spots. So they are not originally from europe, neither is half the soviet block countries that our now considered part of europe and the Eu.

It don't matter what anyone thinks of Turkey, bottom line is they will get in within 10-15 years when they are ready. THere is too much money to be made from their membership for them not to get in. Do the math people, third world people in the first world countries make great cheap labor. Sad but true.

This goes for about 95% of the world population regarding any country.
Politicians included. So what's your point?

ok, 2.5% of the country is in europe, 97.5 % is in asia.

7% actualy. I agree, it's not much. But the whole Eurasia deal is a bit whack anyway.

Not until they face their bloody past and accept the Armenian Genocide and change their extreme laws, like imprisoning people for their views.

noooooooooooooo!
i live in deventer. apart from other cities in holland, we have a huge turkish (ofcourse criminal) problems here. Please dont let eny more turks in here, enough is enough.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh You think Deventer is bad? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yeah that would be great.

An Islamic Wild Card playing Politics in real things that matter.

Fuck off Turks...

Deventer is the turkish capital of holland!

No fuckin way - thats just the turks opinion because they wont give up the cypres they have tried to take with force.

they can go xxxxxx xxx xxxxxx and hope that hey newer will be a part of EU - turks is nothing but trouble

The day Turkey joins the EU, Kreuzberg will no longer be called Kleine Istanbul. Kleine Berlin will replace it.

You wish Japan was part of the EU ...

The thing that many of you are forgeting is why would the EU big three (Germany UK and France) want Turky in the EU?

The reason they want them in, is its our gateway to the middle east. It gives us access to the muslim countries and the oil.

I hope Turkey won't join the EU.
I think the differences between my country and Turkey is simply to big to overcome. Turkey isn't ready for the EU try comparing it with Denmark, Sweden, Holland and the other North European countries, the differences are just to big.
The population in most of the orginal EU countries is against Turkey joining and I don't see it happen.

bingo..the EU is an economic based block and that is how decissions are made no matter if they are popular choices or not

The French will most likely veto Turkish entry into the European Union in a referendum they have been promised. After this whole cartoon issue more Europeans will now be against Turkey joining than before.

I think the people of Europe should have a say in any enlargement of the EU.

If you accept Turkey into the EU, Europe needs to be renamed Eurislam.

BTW I'm not European. I'm American.

You actually have to remember why the EU was formed and understand what the purpose of the EU is and was clearly set out from day one.

People think the EU was made for easier trading. It wasnt the EU was set up to stop another war in Europe. The common market was a bi product.

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.

They are going to make the same mistakes again. Turkey is going to be 2 faced and bit back like the middle east did after the British Mandate of WWI.

Britain gave Arab warlords control of Iraq and the middle east because they wanted to be allies for oil. And look what happened?

Dont worry, we could tell.

Again. It makes no difference to what will happen. Turky will be allowed to join the EU, if any of us think its a good idea or not. Turky in the EU gives the EU a platform to the middle east and oil

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.

The rejection of the EU constitution had nothing to do with Turkey. It has everything to do with most citizens not wanting a United states of Europe.

With regards to the "people of member EU countries must ratify new countries to joining" is complete tripe. We have no say at all. You honestly think we would have allowed all these third world eastern european countries in the EU if we had a vote on it?

Have you been there?

Have I been where?

A lot of people in Europe go on vaction to Turkey.

In "third world eastern european countries" which now are in EU.

Turkey's accession to the EU did play a role in the rejection of the constitution, though a quite small one.

Eastern European countries are not third-world countries, I suggest you do some research.

Yes I have, many places.

But this may come as a shock to you. I am not the total population of Europe and so where I may have been or may not have been makes no difference to how the members of the EU would have voted in such elections, with reference to the post you are refering to. :2 cents:

I suggest you do some research. Many of the former eastern block countries did have and still have huge areas of the countries that live in third world conditions.

So you are saying that we can compare, for example, the Czech Republic with Ethiopia?

The nations that joined the EU recently are considered Second World countries.

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.
