They (EU countries) allowed Turkey to court them for a long time and get expensive treats then bailed out of it by ghosting Turkey.
Do they have to admit Turkey? Hell no. Is it a sign of a good personality? Also no.
- weatherlite 3y agoThere's zero political will to admit Turkey, that's the reality. The biggest hurdle is values, culture and democratic rule. Turkey's democracy is retreating and instead you get something like a dictatorship with a bit of Islamic chauvinism thrown in. If there were ever serious considerations about Turkey (I kinda doubt it) I'm positive it was before Erdogan's current rule. And yeah, let's not pretend that the religion issue doesn't play any part - of course it does. The EU wants to remain secular Christian. Ghosting, good personality, nobody cares. The EU isn't going to commit political suicide because of optics.
