Oh, so it's our fault that we asked for decades (while putting a lot of money there in EU lost funds) that:
- Turkey brought their legal institutions to the modern times
- that Turkey showed more respect for democratic and humanistic principles
- that Turkey respected more the civil rights of their citizens
- that Turkey respected their ethnic minorities (like the Kurds)
- Turkey recognized a member of the EU as an actual country (Cyprus).
And then, after Turkey failed yet, and yet again to address all those problems and we told them patiently yet again, that they needed to address those problems and they still didn't, they decided they are not going to really try and reverted the little work they had done.
And you come and blame the EU for wanting Turkey to become a country that actually respects the right of its own citizens.
How could we be so heartless, right?
