Do you think that Turkey should become a member of the EU, even though they are occupying the north of Cyprus - an EU country. The 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus' is not recognised officially by another country in the world, other than Turkey. I don't think it would be sending out the right message to allow a country into the EU, when it is illegally occupying another EU country. It would completely go against one of the EU's main intentions, which is to encourage peace in Europe. What do you think?

  1. No..Turkey souldnt be allowed to join Eu,not just coz of Cyprus,but coz of their non democratic nation and culture.

    Im with you about the religion,it shouldnt be a reason for a country not join in EU.


  2. Greece occupied half of Macedonia after the Balkan Wars, but that didn't stop them from entering EU... Turkey has every right to enter same as any other country in Europe... i wish them all the best

  3. no, im against the eu referenfum to make europe a united states of europe. i dont want some bloody ukranian storming into my house in the middle of the night,claiming t be europol, i would shoot him. and alot of laws would be banned aaswell.

    and especially turkey

    ireland acceted it foollishley

  4. There can be no EU country which might question territorial integrity and independence of another EU member.

    I don't know if it's included in EU constitution or not, how ever I think it's obvious that it's a must.

    No one should deny rights of Cypriot Turks, but Turkey "interfered" (and continues to do so) in internal affairs of another country.

    So yes, I agree with you, the nature of European Union doesn't allow this.

  5. No i bloody don't. There is only one country the Turks will head for and that is ' soft touch'  Britain. If they are allowed to join it will only be a matter of decades until Britain will be an Islamic republic. I know New Labour are backing them to join, but lets face it, they have backed everyone to join over the last 10 years, resulting in millions heading straight to Britain. Now doubt, it won't bother the politicians with a second or fifth home in the Bahamas where they can go to get away from it all when the time comes.

  6. Hah, a Greek threw a stone in the well and all the Englishve flocked there to get the stone out. Everyone has their own reasons. Greeks complain about Cyprus (do any of you know how Cyprus issue started? Did you know that Turkey was a garantor state and occupation was legal? Did u know that Turkey could only occupy the island if/when Greeks of the island attempt to breach the mutually agreed constitution and/or start killing around-and both happened-? Turkey MAY only be wrong for staying there. Occupation was legal). English complain that their possessions would be taken over by Ukranians or they would be Islamized. Fuuuuuuuuunnny... For God's sake for all those years -even centuries- you exploited hundreds of nations and as a result became somewhat rich. U used them for your own good caused them to be poor and unhealthy and now u twaddle about how bad foreigners are. It's payback time. Not that I want Turkey in EU but if somehow we manage to get in, I hope all the Kurds flock there. It's what hypocricy deserves.

    About joining EU, I think Europe has to shove its EU in its most appropriate place. As a Turk I'm against it.

  7. Turks are a mongrelized mongoloid race from the steppes of central Asia, they have no place in Europe.

  8. For as long as Turkey occupies illegally another country it can not join the European Union.

    For me, that's the first reason, the other people here have their own reasons, I respect them and I totally agree with them.

    O agwnas synexizete.

  9. The legal issue is totally the other way around. Cyprus, if still is what it claims to be, that is Republic of Cyprus created by the treaties of 1959 and 1960, cannot join any organization that Greece and Turkey are not both members at the same time.

    Other legality is that Turkey, with the same arrangements,  has the right to protect Turks in the island. If Greeks had not mass murdered Turks in the island, Turkish Army woudn't have bothered with the trip.

    Just another legality, is that countries with border problems could not enter the EU. Do you have a better candidate than the administration that is labeled as Cyprus, that still considers areas out of its borders at its own, as a coutry with border problems?

    EU has to first kick Cyprus out, before anybody could even considers questioning the Turkish situation.

    And that is why the EU leaders, still do deal with Turkey. Because they know that poking too much on this issue is a legal boomerang.

  10. No, I don't. The last thing this country needs is to give another 70+ million muslims easy access when there are too many here already.

  11. Please stop it right now!

    "occupying "! How come they (Turks) occupying other teritories not Greeks?

    Why don't you asked the both sides, greeks also !?

    Or everytime when there is situation with greece and greeks, other nationas  are to blame, right? In this situation turks, in other macedonians, in other albanians....

    Please this question is provocation nothing more!

    Change it and then you will get answer...

    Good day!

  12. Turkey is in the middle east not Europe and no I don't think they should join the EU.

    Just look at any map.

  13. Yes, Turkey should and deserve to enter EU, I think Greece don't deserve their membership thou. The guy above me said all. Support to Turkey from your friends of Republic of Macedonia

  14. We all heard your question but what reaction did you expect? There is of course nothing wrong with Islam when followed in the correct manner but if Turkey is allowed to join the EU we will increase the number of nutters who have their own interpretation of their faith coming into Britain with impunity.

  15. If you guarantie Greeks will not kill much more Turkish child and woman, and then TuArmy will leave there to Cyprus citisens..

    The only fault of these children is being an army officers son and doughter.. (Major Nihat Ilhan was on duty that night and Greeks went to his house then murdered his wife anf-d 4 children.. Now his house is managed as a museum.. Museum of Barbarism. North Nicosia.)

    None of countries desire additional 40000 soliders to nourish..

    To all people: Turkey isn't belong neither Europe nor Middle East.. Do you think every single person Ä°n Turkey  wants to join EU..

  16. yes and Israel too.

  17. no i don't

    and i don't approve of the recognition of kosovo as an independent state for the same reason

  18. It's not going to happen. I don't think the EU would want a border with Iraq.

  19. They definitely should. Greece has the same problem and they r in for 40 years.
