When I was a kid a group of Grrek Cypriot army officers staged a coup on the island.  The turkish population about 40+% felt threatened by the coup leaders so they called their brethern in Turkey for help.  Turkey invaved and siezed about 40% of the island and the Turkish Cypriots declared their own country which only Turkey recognized.  For some 30 years the island has been divided between the two nations.  One recognized by the world and the other not recognized. \n\nabout 5 years ago under pressure from Turkey and the EU,  Turkish Cypriots voted for a timetable for reunification.  The Greeks knowing that they were going to get EU membership and at the secret urging of Greece voted down the measure.  \n\nThe EU was angry and they agreed to open up dialogue with Turkish Cyprus.  Cyprus now an EU member along with Greece block EU aid to and dialogue with Turkish Cyprus.\n\nBoth Turkey and Turkish Cyprus rightfully feel betrayed by the EU and Greek Cypriot treachery.  \n\nEU membership is important to Turkey but so is national pride.\nNo Turkish government will survive if they open their ports to Greek Cypriot shipping without some sort of reciprical move from Cyprus or the EU.

I think it will eventually. Turkey has cleaned up its human rights record IMMENSELY, and its economy is already better than several current EU member states in Eastern Europe. I think people are nervous about letting it in because its population is growing so quickly and because it is a mostly Muslim state. To tell the truth, I don't think either arguement will hold up much longer. Aging Europe could use the population boost, and the great majority of Europe doesn't profess (or at least practice) ANY religion anymore, Christian or otherwise.\n\nThe only way I can see that Turkey WOULDN'T join is if the EU put them off so long that they finally threw up their hands and gave up. Either that, or if they EU fell apart because of infighting before Turkey got the chance to join.

Croatia is now a democratic modern , Euopean country..I can see no reasons why it won't be allowed to join...\n\nAbsolutely Croatia will be a full member of the EU in 2009...\n\nThey were some problems over Gotevina...but now he has been arrested and is in the Hague there are no more objections..so they will be no more delays...\n\n\nCheck the official sites for more...

It dealt a severe blow to that trade.  The Turks, who took over, were not up to it and under their Ottoman Empire the situation did not improve.  Turkey became known as the "sick man of Europe" and was finally pushed out.\n\nThey now want to be welcomed back, offering themselves as a useful bridge to Asia, when they never were before.  What they will be if allowed in is an open door to illegal immigration from Asia, especially for their racial brothers, who extend all the way to and into China.\nThey will also be a gateway for all the problems of resurgent Islam, which has no place in Europe.

Don't feel bad about it. You know, the rest of the world does not connect "Turkiye" with the turkey. In Serbia, for example, we say: Turska. All the best!

I have to admit that I knew nothing about Nagorno-Karabagh until motivated to read about it from your question.\n\nThe only insight that I could offer is that because of the tension in the mid-east and a general antipathy against muslims in the west, I would think that this is the moment to garner Western attention to Nagorno Karabagh's plight.  Even Turkey which is trying to gain entrance to the EU would probably not like to rock the boat.\n\nIf N-K is going to gain independence, there probably is not a time more propitious than the present.

Hopefully, expanded to include Turkey.

The first answerer talks about Turkey as a market : that's there anyway, whether Turkey's in or out.\nHis second point is the tired old one about Turkey being a gateway to the East, as if this were something desirable for Europe.  Turkey's admission would certainly be desirable, but not for Europe : for Turkey and all the many millions of Turks, who extend all the way to and into China.  It would open the door to Europe for them.  Does anyone think that Turkey, as a member of Europe, would feel stronger loyalty to Europe than to her racial brothers and fellow Muslims?  They'd flood into Europe and accelerate the process, already well under way, of Islamic domination there.

Why shouldn't they? \nThen Turkey can dump their undesirables in the UK like a lot of other EU countries.

The EU doesn't want Turkey in. If they did, Turkey would have been a member many years ago. \n\nI find it strange that the Eastern European States are entering the EU so easily, while Turkey, a very powerful country, that would add much to the EU, is barred from entry.\n\nI am also surprised that the Turks still want to join the EU, it's such an insult to Turkish Pride, I mean, this IS Turkey afterall, the Ex-Ottoman Empire, being insulted by Europeans who refuse it entry into a regional union. \n\nWhen countries like Slovenia get in so quickly and Turkey is left out like that, I'ld look elsewhere for friends.\n\nEurope is confused and hypocritical.\n\nSad sad sad.

Wow, an intelligent question on YA.\n\nIf this were to happen, a unified military for the EU would be an extremely potent force with a broad spectrum leadership.\n\nIt will be interesting to see how alliances would play out. If the EU military was unified, would England for example be allowed to ally with a non EU nation in a military campaign that the rest of the EU condemns?
