Now it's time for Sweden to let Turkey in the EU
4 0 ReplySteady on. Erdoğan's Islamifying the place as a populist, undoing Atatürk's vision. Turkey belongs in the GCC rather than the EU if it's on its way to theocracy.

The EU is not about to let Turkey join, and the main reason is that Turkey don't really want to.
9 0 ReplySo, they submitted an application in 1999 and then suddenly revoked it?
2 0 ReplyIt's not revoked. It's stalled. There's a huge list of things they'd need to do to join, and they basically haven't completed any of it.
Cyprus is a major sticking point, along with Erdogan, who while not quite being a dictator in name, is probably only a little way off it.
