Why would the EU possibly want to get Turkey as a member?

Question

It's not even like that Turks want to be part of the EU anyway. Opening the door to Turkey also means opening the door to all of the immigrants that would change the overall European Face. Turkey would then become a gateway to all other emmigrants in the region. No Europeans want to see their beautiful cultures be overcome by the Kebab-culture. It's not even like Turkey is part of Europe...If I wanted to go to a city overrun with anti-amrican Islamic Fundamentalists, i would got to Tehran. For now, however, I want to be able to buy bagguette in Paris instead of greasy kebab.

Answer 1

Well, I think Turkey is not in the Europe, but the country's ethnic groups are very diverse.

Answer 2

Before they can enter the EU they have to live us Kurds alone and stop killing us. this is their biggest problem that EU wants turkey to stop. But turkey is not so good and will leave us alnone they can not imagine the kurds to get a own country. I hope they will get wiser and leave us alone.. its better for them and us. they will be a part of EU and Kurds will finally leave in peace and democracy

Answer 3

The only reason is that the EU wanted to show that is open to muslims and that is accepting and open. But the problem is that Turkey does not want to change and embrace European values. It wants to continue with its militaristic ways and thats not acceptable.

Answer 4

gathering more members means a bigger budget. openning up to turkey also gives the EU a wider range of demographic representation and will help in diplomatic relations.

Answer 5

It has access to water and oil. Two things every civilized country needs. They are building pipe lines for both from what i heard. That would boost the EU's economy.
