Actually I didn't vote anything. I think they should join EU but they have some things to do before that.

You probably mean Cyprus.

Close enough. Also, I am impartial either way.

Theres more to it still after Cyprus right? I mean i know cyprus is the big one, but i was under the impression there were a number of the criteria that they werent really that close to meeting, which was causing some friction.

And i thought there was a general image problem with letting turkey in from a number of member countries right now.

...ill-conceived Jizzy-bait...

I retract my previous statement.

Well yeh, fairly dodgy human rights record in general is a factor...

You've got to be making considerable progress towards being ready to use the Euro. You've got to have low public debt, low inflation, a stable exchange rate, (a couple of other things, too... can't recall). To my understanding, Turkey is farther away from the requisite economic levels than any other potential EU member. At its core the EU is an economic agreement, and Turkey is not yet capable of adhering to its terms.

Now, if you want to talk about the EU as a political organization, that's a whole different issue...
