No, we don't want Turkey in the EU !
This country has almost nothing in common with Europe. Turkey is not European, not culturally, not geographically (besides 0.5%), not ethnically and not historically.

A big majority of the EU citizens are completely against Turkey joining the EU. Only about 26% are in favour of Turkey joining. That should be clear enough for the EU politicians and for Turkey...

Turkey and EU can be close partners.. But Turkey part of the EU ? NEVER !!!!
If it does happen, I leave the EU for Australia the same day the Turks can freely cross the border.
