Will Turkey ever join the EU

[Acquisit0r]

Not the Erdogans dictatorship Turkey. But eventually they will when the time is right. The country will inevitably become more liberal and less religious in the future.

Of course they will as our shoe polishers, toilet cleaners and servants.

Said the Greek

[JohnSmith]

Not likely anytime soon as the EU seems to have severe issues.

[Marmara]

Right now the accession is symbolic, Turkey obviously doesn't plan to join but no side wants to end the accession talks, it would be a declaration of worsened relations.

Why would anyone want less religious country?

We have spent 1500 years adopting religious laws just so we can abandon them now?

Islam and Orthodoxy will always be of extreme importance on Balkans and Anatolia.

In the meantime we can laugh at the political clash a silly song as this can cause with the Turkish Republic.

Take a look at Bosnia. An unbiased look. Then maybe you'll get it. Your argument is funny though "we have spent 1500 years adopting laws from an old semitic folklore and we now live in a very poor country which gives nothing of significance to the world but hey, we cant change it right? Surely not after so much effort!" Too funny bro

I wonder whether Russia would ever join. Not today, but after a few generations. I remember playing a mod for the game Civilization IV where you control either one of four empire. The former Anglo-Saxon World, The former Third World, East Asia dominated by China and the former EU + Russia minus Siberia.

Not a rosy future to be honest.

We can't predict such scenarios. Fact remains Russia is also European whether they deny it or not.

Not everything is measured in Gold.

It is not funny to me.
