Fast Ballot (And admins, this is not off topic since Poland is part of EU):

Should Turkey be allowed into EU?

(PS: I will not vote to not bias the poll).

I took the freedom to create a poll for you:

Thanks upper silesian!

Also would be interesting to see the comments of those that vote for No or Yes here :)

No, simply because Turkey is not in Europe ( for all the geography geniuses,don't bother with explaining to me where is Turkey and which part is where....I know it) especially now that the insane bigot called Erdogan won the majority in the elections.

Honestly as long as Poland is going to leave the EU I don't care.

Yes, but if not than no.

All the mediterranean coastal areas are inhabited by people of rather secular mentality who are open to western culture. The Anatolian hinterland on the other hand has people who lived in conditions like no electricity and no running water until the mid 1990s!


Imagine those people living a VERY rural live 20 years ago and now having smart phones and stuff. These are the backwardly people supporting Erdogan in vast numbers, not realizing that this bigots are the exact opposite of what brought them the blessings of modernization.

Since EU would have to take the 'whole deal', I'm against it.

This will never happen, but would be cool to have Turkey split up like Yugoslavia and have a Turkish coastal state like Croatia without all the 'Mongol hordes'.


And no, the geographic argument will not stop the bureaucrats to acquire new markets.

a.k.a Ex-Greek state you mean ? Imagine how happy would be greeks if that happened....

No..FFS!!!! this country is openly massacring kurds , funding and arming al nusra terrorists.fok off..turkey should be kicked out of NATO asap!

Turks do bad things to Christians so no never

[moved from]
The Armenian Massacre of 1914 was to be sure a horrible event which to this day can never truly be either rationalized or expunged from the Ottoman consciousness, not now, not ever! Are your simply being another troll, istannbulu?

Yet, as with the Nazis, that still doesn't mean we stop reading Schiller and Goethe, stop going for X-rays because Roentgen was an Aryan, stop driving Mercedes or listening to Beethoven, Wagner, Strauss etc.., does it?

Everything within historical perspective.

What the US did to our Native Americans was pretty danmed shabby, slavery too is a blemish and yet America has tried not to live solely in the shadows of her past!

Why then should Turkey..indeed, any country?

Do not care if you think I am trolling,

Sorry, you are talking nonsense, you are saying they are proud of their `history` and their history, it does not matter `Ottoman Empire` or new Turkey Republic, is so dark that you do not know much about. If they are proud of it, let it be...

Please do not `insist` on talking about their history unless you know about it properly. I am coming from that place.

Do not want to go deep as the topic is going out of the correct way.

And I suppose, istannbulu, you DO know what you're talking about??

Turkey has indeed a long and proud heritage, even before the Muslims overtook Constantinople and turned it from Christian into an Islamic city!

They are gonna lock the subject if we keep talking about that `proud heritage`, can discuss on another topic but you really have no idea what you are talking about. Turks have one of the darkest and bloody history in this world, looks like you just read what `they` have written about their history, you will not see in their history the truth. I advise you to look `deeper` to understand, you will not see anything to be `proud` of.

Do not misunderstand - I am not against whole nation, I know great people from there that I am still in contact. But a big number of the people are actually proud of the `dark` history they have written and they are still doing the same, and still proud of it.

Long story.

I understand this story all too well, istannbullu! Erdogan and his kind have so terrorized well-meaning Turks such as yourselves, you've gotten just a wee bit paranoid and so you post things such as "You don't know what you're talking about!!" etc. and similar nonsense.

Noone's blaming you. Erdogan's a handfull for any nation to deal with. And he sees himself as the inheritor of Ataturk?? Don't make me laughLOL

Imagine this. 50 bodyguards. Erdogan must be intensively reading about Gavrilo Princip. He, he

Erdogan to have 50 personal bodyguards while visiting Serbia
