Why should they accept a country that's not in Europe for 95% of its landmass? Not to mention the huge cultural gap.

Why should they accept a country that's not in Europe for 95% of its landmass? Not to mention the huge cultural gap.
- eru 9y agoThe borders of Europe the continent are arbitrary. Cultural gap between eg members Sweden and Italy is probably bigger than between member Greece and Turkey?
- tormeh 9y agoI've heard some Turks saying that the people living in Istanbul and western Turkey are basically Greek. Land has changed hands between Turkey and Greece many times and the people there often stayed put.
- eru 9y agoOf course, there's lots of animosity between them because of that shared history. So don't mention the similarities to their face, unless you know them well. Cuisine in western Turkey and Greece is basically the same, too.
