  • This is a case of talking sense 99% of the time so that he can slip utter verminous bollocks in for 1%.

    The Tory party's apparent love affair with Turkey comes from their being worthless lapdogs of the US, who are in turn Saudi lapdogs.

    Who actually speaks for the people anymore, we hear words meant to trick & con us, they take us for lemmings, each viper voice trying to lead us over their favoured cliff.

    The question we should always ask is who they work for, & it's never us.

  • I guess that Europeans think that We Turks are blind and cant see how Europeans treat us. It is very big contradictory that Europe is always trying to promote diversity, liberty, freedom of people, equality, justice and more, however in terms of Turkey all these aspects are forgotten and Europe basically tells us that Turks are a different case. It is sad for me to see some comments about Turks as a dangerous nation in Europe. However, bear in mind, today is yours but tomorrow is ours.

  • Before making any comments go and visit istanbul, go the western cities. DO NOT JUDGE my country just by seeing the uneducated/in 70s migrated turkish people to Europe. I am really ashamed of them, but keep in mind that it is the same thing happened to Irish/Itallians immigrated to USA after WW2. And please stop talking about Islam, trust me turkey has the "lowest" level of Islam in the whole asia. The picture is not like you see on the TVs. Turkey is NOT an arabic country at all!

  • @anvarik89 the christian-priests in Turkey werent MURDERED

    in the 70s but in the last 5 years by Mustafa the savage FEZ

  • @ratzP Can you provide some links/documentation that the murder and Mustafa Kemal is related? I also checked your profile and saw that most of your comments have the same "topic". It is probably the old ottomans hating -some still hates- the democracy regime who have done this. And please, how can a man possibly describe Mustafa Kemal as a savage? Because he defended his country at WW1 against Greece, England and all the others? Please say me who are the savages? The attackers or the defenders?

  • @anvarik89 Go to Cyprus,,,,there ull see what the islamists

    Turkish savages have done!!! churches & christian-monuments

    detroyed by the islamist-Turks,,churches with ghastly minarets on

    top of them and the few that r left the islamist-bastards charge us

    an admission fee...all in all the islamist-Turks r unsavoury characters

  • @ratzP I leave just across the sea, the southest part of Turkey, and I have been in Cyprus -Turkish part- a lot of times. And I can say you are bullsh*ting. Actually all of your talk is empty, you just blamed Mustafa Kemal without background and now you change the topic to Cyprus. Stop blaming people and stop writing empty comments to every video related turkey for god's sake.

  • @anvarik89 did u know Kemal the badass bitch used to go down2the

    Kostantinoupolis waterfront bars looking for Jamaican sailors for a bit

    of slap&tickle?? greetings from the Rep.of Cyprus and friends Israel !!

  • @ratzP yeah yeah for sure. I heard that greek soldiers do not use any girls cuz they simply slap each other. And hell yeah, I forgot, last time you guys get slapped by Kemal reaaally hard, right? Is that the reason you guys are mad against us ? Ah come ooon, its been almost a century!! Get over it! :D

  • @anvarik89 i hate this video,,it makes me cry like a big-baby!!!

    Daniel Hannan made me feel so guilty by pointing out how evil

    ive been to the Turks...im ashamed of my self and im sure most

    Greek Cypriots would feel the same...oh poor poor innocent Turks

  • @ratzP You are fuuunny!! Hey, I just heard that Europe put Greece on Ebay. What do you say?

  • I am turkish. and i think we need neither islamic maniacs who are the real devils of our age nor poor europe who feeds,with its wealthiness, these fascist, brainless, retards like here swearing islam and minarets.now close this browser and go read something not sick.

  • @cakabo1905 Dear EU members (except-Britain)

    if u want to know what the Turks r really like,,look at what they've done

    in Cyprus...look at the way they destroyed our christian-churches and

    build MINARETS on most of them...the few that r left,,the bastard FEZ

    IS charging as to go in!!! Turks = NO different from any other PSYCHO

  • @cakabo1905 Flooding the EU with ghastly MINARETS is

    the ultimate goal of the islamist fascist of Turkey = PSYCHOS

  • Daniel Hannan is a krypto islamist terrorist = 5th columnist

  • Daniel Hannan is a krypto islamist terrorist = 5th columnist

  • Well, the question is now moot anyway. After that law France voted about making it illegal to deny the Armenian holocaust, there basically is no way Turkey will consider applying for EU membership anymore.

  • A REALLY GREAT POLITICIAN!

  • this is where the fez-boys gather2listen2some old old news and me

    to watch and enjoy every second of it ahahaha viva Rep.of CYPRUS

  • @ratzP its really amusing.You stop by in every video which has Turkey title on it..even 4 years old videos..Calling people names even european people because they actually contributed something good..Inferiority complex has a new meaning, thanks to you..Now drop me another comment with frustration

  • @BronzePlaque thanks 4ur kind words,,,very encouraging indeed but

    i wish u stoped stalking me like a poor old hungry dog...heres a bone

    

  • @ratzP Such a predictable response from a third world EUROPE Union peasant

  • @BronzePlaque FYROM = 3rd world country with 200%+ inflation

  • This is all completely meaningless. Demographics which are beyond the control of bureaucrats will have the final say. Europe is aging and if they want to enjoy the standard of living they have become accustomed to at some point they are going to need young workers from somewhere. It is not that complicated.

  • the last thing turkey needs is to go into the quagmire of the eu.

    also; EU is NOT Europe. its just a bunch of crooks sitting together and making sweet deals for themselves, why we are supposed to pay for them.

    these hypocrites in brussels or wherever in "western" world are so dangerous for world peace that we cannot sit idle by.

  • @br0dskalk hey Mustafa,,what else has our CLUB-EU has on offer? A. PRESTIGE

    everybody in the world respects our beloved CLUB-EU...GO GO CYPRUS .GRRRR

  • @ratzP if you imply by calling me mustafa that I am arab or of lesser value, then I can assure you that I am white from norway.

    i am certainly paying money to "get to trade" with EU. like I really ever did need to do that. And the fucking EU comes up with all these shit laws that we have to conform to. have to have more commercials. have to have alcohol commercials. have to privatise public sectors. yes yes all fine.

    Cyprus "problem" is created to make tension between turkey and greece.

  • @br0dskalk it just goes to show i am not infallible,,,shame,,but,,im not 100%sure !!!

  • I think that Turkey probably looks at the european mess and thanks its stars for being barred from enjoying its infinite blessings.

  • @libertyequalspeace who wants fucking minarets in every

    village town and mounting-top with neighbours that have

    genocidal-tendencies?? ...at a drop of a FEZ ...head OFF !!!

  • @ratzP Well since EU accepted Southern Cyprus, all went wrong and EU is going down..LOL..Coincidence? you bring misery wherever you set up foot like stinking parasite

  • @BronzePlaque <<< Mutafas sexy pet monkey Fifi-FYROM = whore

    specialises in homo sex with dirty Turk the FEZ = islamist-psycho

  • @ratzP Move on

  • Well done Daniel. It is about time someone in that useless talking shop spoke some sense regarding Turkey.

  • Turkey?

    Turkey (Ottoman Empire) has the worst human rights record of any state during the last 1000 years.

    It's easy for you to defend them, your British, you sided with the back in the Crimean conflict. Your not a member of the Balklan nations that had to suffer under Devşirme and slavery. Your not a Arab or Kurd abused by Turkish Emirs. Your not a Georgian, Armenian or Cyrprot massacred under the Hitler like rule of Abdul Hamid II.

    Burn Turkey.

  • The last thing europe needs is more muslims. 

  • @FlankerVT Yes, but it needs more secularists and certainly more net contributors. Turkey would be both.

  • @FlankerVT Why? Turkey is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and a stable (and arguabley secular) country in a very volitile region. In which we have a large stake. To bar Turkey membership because you don't like their religion (for whatever moronic reason) is retarded. Please. Think before you type.

  • @MattMystrieo

    Its not just the religion, its the nationalistic and historical context as well. Turkey does not have a good history with europe, it tried to conquer europe a long time ago, and the europeans are still angry about that. Also, turkey is not european in identity or religion, and this would be a major cleavage that would cause tension and possible conflict in the future. Also, the european union is falling apart, accepting a controversial member would cause problems.

  • Nationalism? Really? When we have far-right groups as members of the EU who would not just destroy the EU but 'purge' Europe of all its diversity? Pftt.. That card doesn't work. Not a good history with Europe, really? So we can't have a good relationship with the US because we fought a war against them hundreds of years ago? Please. Also Turkey has had an excellent relationship with Europe all throughout the Cold War, go read up on it... There is no such thing as a 'European relgion' or culture.

  • @MattMystrieo I'm not against europe being friends with turkey. Thats cool. But what the libtards want is to allow millions of turks to go into europe, by opening up the floodgates. Europe already has a problem with immigration and nationality issues, and diversity is not a strength its a weakness for europe. And there is a european religion, its christianity, and the european culture is similar in many regions in both upper, central, and lower europe. Its distinctively white western culture.

  • So you strenghten immagration between EU members? Not a big deal Allowing Turkey membership would allow one of the worlds fastest growing and most important economies into a group which is collectivally the richest in the world. Don't be blinded by nationalism, use common sense. Why is it a weakness? Im not Christian, I'm agnostic. So am I not European? Don't be stupid. 'White', Arabs have lived in south Europe for hundreds of years don't pull the 'white' bullshit. Europe has always been diverse

  • The EU will destroy Europe. Why are our people supporting our genocide?

  • turkey is not eu turkey is asia but kebab.yogurt,tulips.cafe,toile­t,turkish delight,pilaf,father christmas,Merry,afrodit,,troy,­bible,Hunnic Empire,Odin(Norse mythology),is eu.

  • He's such a weirdo. Who talks like that anymore?

  • I only can give a huge applause for this man.

  • He'll never be Prime Minister because he's about 8times as right wing as Margaret Thatcher and the country would be littered with riots, which we get every time the Tories succeed to power

  • Turks are not European!

  • @sitdownstandup91 You mean Turks are not Christian. They were in Europe for hundreds of years until the early 20th century, now only a small part is in Europe.

  • @blubbermouthful Don't talk rubbish. Greece competed very well in the ethnic cleansing and massacre stakes in less than 200 years. Wholesale massacres in the Morea. Ethnic cleansing and massacre during the Balkan Wars. The invasion of Anatolia with, massacres and ethnic cleansing included, in 1919. Even little inoffensive Belgium has killed more people in its short colonial history than the Turks did in nearly a 1000 years. The "Ottoman Yoke" is a myth to justify your failures as a nation.

  • Dan the Man = Lone-Ranger...vote for Turkey its a vote for DISASTER !!!

  • well said just be honest just say u turks will never get full memership because u r muslims thats it dont play this silly game of this and that,

  • Well said! Tell us what u think straight up like this and we go to our seperate ways.No hard feelings,it's business!But, if u keep on demanding things that are not realistic in a mocking manner like Daniel mentioned u will lose an ally in the EAST.We r not European we r aware of that,we don't wan't to be in Eu to become European in flesh.we simply want to trade!We have products and services that we want to sell easily that's all.Some will suggest the privileged ally status but that won't suffice

  • Comment removed

  • The EU project must die... They are destroying Europe with their corrupted stupidity...The EU is for bureaucrats and lobbyists. The people of Europe will become the next Africa, poorer than poor, complete with islamic suicide bombinbs. Thanks politicians.

    The EU must die.

  • Good speech but I am afraid its too late mate... As a Turkish citizen I do not want to be member of EU and the millions think the same as me. We lost our excitement about EU because they made us disappointed and now we think we do not need eEU and even without them we can be a regional power. I hope EU will not have to beg us in future about membership ...

  • @polyxenus withdraw your candidacy then ...

  • hey Hanny-BOY,, come to think of it,, what about Cyprus & Armenia !!!

    and,, what about having a referendum wether the British ppl want all

    this islamist Mustafas (and God knows who other terrorist) to flood

    Britain and take over the few jobs that still remain there?? SHAMEonU

  • So far we dont need EU membership at all but majorty of Turks agreed only reason they want membership is to end this Turkish hatred among EU that caused many Turks unable to marry their loved one in Europe due to family force or political problems and Im one of them who lost his first love due to fact there is Turkish hatred going on.We cannot travel easly for commercial reason or cannot work at companies for short amount of time for projects.Its so far not an economic issue its social issue

  • @Blue2Volf You cannot travel easily because you overstay your in Europe, marry some cunt, obtain citizenship and never go back home. With 75 million Turks in the EU, I think Europe will be flooded beyond imagination...The continent is already overcrowded as it is...

  • @ausSchengen Turkey will be downfall of European Union you need us and yet you defie the fact by making up rumors Turks cannot flood europe cause cultures never fit those who are in europe decendents of cheap labor work force as a result of wrong policies put back in 50s to rebuilt whats left from WW2 We send worse of worse even people from prison that was what Europe asked for use and dump but they couldnt.You dont have enough boron to match US military force you need us more than you know.

  • @ausSchengen What European union does debate debate debate my personal opinion fuck the union just give us some easier paper work and formalities for 3 topics marriage,trade and vacations we are just limiting each other,Turkey have many stuff you dont have but its so hard to trade with EU member nations most of the times deals wont worth it.2 years ago france canceled Turkish satellite project France lost amazing money cause of sarcozys racism.So its the main deal so much debate and formalities

  • ECPECIALLY GREEKS ARE PROBABLY YOUR GRANDFATHERS..

  • as much as I am on the side of people concerned over such a culturally different nation joining the EU with full rights, Hannan made some very EXCELLENT points; given the cultural differences between Europe and turkey raising the bar a little higher might not be such a bad idea; however if they do accept a large part of the aqui and than we turn them down... I will have lost faith in the EU

  • I agree with Hannan that EU should be honest with Turkey, but not that it should be admitted. EU already has problems with the differences in the fundamental values of it's Muslim immigrants from the mainstream European values and adding 75 million Muslims (with a fast growing population) will fundamentally change the nature of the EU. Islam needs to go through a period akin to the enlightenment and a true separation of religion and state before it can comfortably coexist with the western world.

  • European public is poorly educated. What is worse is, even many of their politicians are poorly educated. Europe is no more the source of light in the World. Asian Ecnomies are growing now very fast. In 20 years Turkish economy will be as good as the economy of France or Germany. Many people have prejudices and do not look around to see what is really going on in the World.

  • @afaresis

    "In 20 years Turkish economy will be as good as the economy of France or Germany. "

    If that is indeed true, then they can join the EU in twenty years, when they'll have something other than cheap labor immigrants (if they work at all) to contribute. The fact now is that Turkish immigrants have a higher unemployment rate than native Europeans and use more welfare. Adding Turkey to the EU, when they're already having problems with other Meditarranean members, is a terrible idea.

  • I take no offense for EU citizens not wanting Turkey in EU. It is up to them to decide who can come in. Indeed, as a Turk I do not want Turkey in EU. If Turkey joins, our culture risks washing out for high levels of immigration and intermarriages. I only highlight European prejudices 1) EU needs immigration because it has a very low fertility rate 2) Turkey cannot provide this since its fertility rate only sustains itself. 3) Turkey grows fast; concerns about Turkish immigration are groundless.

  • @afaresis "concerns about Turkish immigration are groundless"? errrr my concern is another 80 millio0n muslims allowed anywhere in Europe drowning out MY white, Christian culture. Fertility rate? make me laugh, its purely political. Figures published anywhere are out of date the next second. Labour let in all the eastern euros to bolster votes, we want to let Turkey in to appease the left - its bullshit, 50 years and i will be a minority in my own country.

  • @august251976 You will be a minority in your country irrespective of whether Turkey joins in or not. It is called LOW FERTILITY RATES! Stop blaming Muslims or Blacks or Arabs for your own doings. If you do not want to be minority, start having families and kids rather than hanging out as 40 years old singles. I cannot believe how ignorant and poorly educated people like you can look down on others. Educate yourself first before spitting hate for people who do not look or live like you!

  • @afaresis poorly educated hahah ok. Fertility rates? it's a myth. We're having more children now than ever, it's merely because we are letting more people into the country than are being born here to white British people - that's a fact. Now who's looking uneducated you fucking moron. We have the highest teen pregnancy rate in Europe. Nothing to be proud of, but again - fact. Its because people like you come to the UK,have 6 kids which you cant pay for - THATS IGNORANT

  • @afaresis Another point, if you actually did your own research instead of believing the first thing you read which you agree with you'd know: 1. Low fertility in Europe is a myth, its a ploy to make us all mix with each other with no solid scientific basis 2. The world already has 2 billion too many people according to many scientific studies. 3. The UK's population has doubled in the last 50 years. Immigrants mean docs, hospitals, dentists,schools - over ran, crime up massively. FACT

  • @NAARandom great point.

  • Turks want two things from EU: (1) Custom Union (2) Visa-free travel (as tourists, not for settlement). Turkey already has (1) and now demands (2). Seriously, we do not need to be in EU! Concerns about immigration are groundless. Indeed, EU needs 2 million immigrants per year to keep its economy runnin, but Turkey cannot provide it because in Turkey fertility rate is 2.2. Indeed due to growing Turkish economy, since last year there is net migration from EU to Turkey, not the other way around!

  • Greece and Turkey should join Saudi Arabia they are arabs we have enough Niggers and Hindus , gypsies , morrocons in Europe ......greeks and turks are not white race with blue eyes and white skin ! they are arabs

  • @wild5raccoon YOU SAID THAT Greece and Turkey should join Saudi Arabia they are arabs we have enough Niggers and Hindus , gypsies , morrocons in Europe ......greeks and turks are not white race with blue eyes and white skin ! they are arabs..... Well if Turks and Greeks are ARAB.. SO OU ARE EUROPE.. EUROPE THAT DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HISTORY..EUROPE THAT DONT HAVE A PEACE OF BRAIN LIKE YOURS!! AND YOU ARE GOOD EXAMPLE THAT.. HOW EUROPEANS ARE STUPID... TURKS AND GREEKS ARE NOT ARAB

  • Hannan doesn't get it on Muslim nations---they say their women are fine but child marriage, burning, honor killings prriest beheadings, and let's not even go the subject of GENOCIDE!!! Turks butchered 4 Million! The world waits for an apology but Hanna apparently is cluelss or cares not for morality

    Hannan-- wake up!

  • @aelialicinia I cant see Germany lrtting turkey join

  • @aelialicinia 4 million if I wasnt half armenian and half turk I would believe you ,prist beheading ? LOL man christians have schools in here my grand ma let a prist stay in her house for several days cause he had no money for hotel Armenian number never reached 1 760 000 ok if there was a genocide it would be all over for Armenians Child marriage its in the laws like every nation its illegal,honor killings there is no such thing.The World waits the turks pay tribute for war crime itsabout money

  • Finally found something I strenuously disagree on with Hannan. I would take to the trenches, the air or sea to stop ANY further Turkish involvement with Europe. "Long been our friends..."? Hannan is out to lunch on this - his value neutral libertarianism gets the best of him.

  • @TheHiberian not at all from my point of view. They are "racist" (generalizing here) to the extent the Balkan people are belligerent with each other. Across the board, as we come to meet the modern generations and the government representatives they produce, we come to see a milder and more level headed side to them.

  • I like Hannan's integrity. This speech is coming from an MEP who views new membership of any kind with caution, but he takes things to its logical conclusion.

  • White people are murdered in their thousands every day in Africa - yet no one speaks up about it. The powers-that-be call it "racist" to speak up about it. This is nothing more than genocide - we are being whipped out as a people, they are reducing us to minorities in EVERY country we reside.

  • No one is flooding Japan with Non-Japanese and encouraging everyone to "mix".

    No one is flooding Africa with Non-Africans and encouraging everyone to "mix".

    Only citizens of White/European Countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and all the countries in Europe are having uncontrolled immigration forced on them.

    This "assimilation" or blending is nothing more than an attempt to wipe out the White race. It’s genocide.

    They aren't anti-racists, they're anti-White.

  • @docwillems Could not have put it better myself.

  • @docwillems agreed. It's colonization. We don't want it, we didn't vote for it but it's being pushed on us.

  • @docwillems don't exaggerate; Canada US and Australia are built on immigrants; as for Europe, the ageing population needs a cure; also some of the countries had huge colonial empires.... kinda paying the price don't you think?

    there's no anti-white genocide; however I do agree there need to be tighter regulations on non-european immigration within the EU; also incentives need to be given to the EU citizens to breed more;

  • @docwillems The people at the top of this power pyramid are insane control freaks, literally seeing everyone and everything as their resource. They are aware of their immortality, simply understanding that we are SPIRITUAL beings first and human beings second. Our thoughts and emotions are power beyond measure. You might suddenly understand now, that our anguish is intentional. Strengthen the love on Earth, that is all that matters.

  • @docwillems

    Well Done!

  • Look what has happened since he made this speech.

    Exactly what he said would happen.

  • @docwillems my father is white, traced back to the 16th century in Britain my mother on the other hand is half Cherokee half African American.......According to you my parents are commiting a genocide of the white race hahaha what a joker!! Ever heard of anyone being forced into mixed mariage or there being a colour coded "prima nocte" in force to try and breed you out.

    None of the mentioned countries, bar the Europeans belong to whites anyway...Aus=Abo's, USA=indians,NZ Maori etc GET REAL

  • Wikileaksmemos also record Israeli concerns that the rejection Turkey has encountered in the EU is pushing the country towards the Muslim world,with Israel having to pay the price in seeing its ties to its long standing partner deteriorate.So here we have the Israeli JEWS putting pressure on the EU to accept the entry of 80million Turks into Europe(regardless of the negative consequences to the indigenous european people) just to help the Turkish-Israeli alliance stay strong

  • Comment removed

  • @TheHiberian really? when did you meet hitler ?

  • Europe must NEVER be a 'Christian Club', no matter what France or Germany's leaders demand. Turkey is a bridge between East and West, between Europe and Asia. A fast-improving and progressive Muslim country that is not only opposed to Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations today, but remained a stalwart defender of the West and of European values, both culturally and militarily, in the face of Soviet tyranny, is an ally well worth having.

  • I'm a huge Hannan fan, but he lost it here. Turkey is a cavemen mentality asiatic country.

    Keep it away from Europe.

  • @amjan "cavemen mentality asiatic country". could you please explain that ?

  • Daniel,your an outstanding politician and intelect.Infact,your the best politician i have ever heard.I just hope one day that you will be our prime minister and for at least 20 years.Keep sinking your teeth into martin schulz and those other killers of freedom and democracy and get us the hell out of the EU plz.

    You sir,make me proud to be british,god bless.

  • @IhatetheEU Lol the EU make over 80% of our laws, "our" MP's are irrelevant, Hannan is a traitor, it is him that is stringing us along until the EU takeover.

  • @IhatetheEU I agree with you. Daniel really if that good and yet not very well known. But I really do think, before it is too late, he and his camp of supporter MPs should all join UKIP. He and Nigel Farage would be an amazing team. Either of them would be a most worthy and most needed Prime Minister for this country at this time. Daniel is wasted working under Cameron and he must hate it.

  • they arn't even europeans how can they get to join the eu?

  • @zzzzzzz114 You are not live in Europa, right ?

    Turkey is already term president committe of mnisters of the council f europe today.

  • Turkey is a still secular state!

    Wait a little bit and the religous extremists like erdogan will change that!

    Atatürk was quoted 1954 by the Frenchman Jacques Benoist Méchin:

    The Islam, this absurd God teachings of an immoral beduin, is a decaying corpse, which poisons our life. It is nothing else as a degrading and dead thing.

    Today in turkey you will be imprisoned for life if you say that!

  • Turkey cannot become a guard a flank for Europe against Islamic fundamentalism, because in turkey Islamic fundamentalism is already taking over!

    Turkey cannot be a member of the European union because of religious matter!

    Islam is not a secular system and therefore it is not intituled to participate in a democratic system!

    The goal of is Islam is not to preserve democracy but installing a religious dictatorship!

    Good night Europe if turkey becomes a member state!

  • The only reason EU wants Turkey to join is to stop the EU from collapsing.

  • we dont want turks ino EU they are more backwards than arabs. garbage

  • Fuck you and fuck your Turkey... these bastards are letting illegal immigrants into Europe on purpose! Fuck the Islam

  • wow Turkey, please don't join EU, i have nothing against you, it is for your own good! They would love to have NATO/EU missile system in Turkey, you guys have a perfect tactical position

  • @zentrallondon I dont know why but the most reasonable comments always comes from the British. you are 100% right...

  • @aporia82 hi there, hehe i am just living here, i am not british i am polish and this EU is not good for my country - its not good for any countries, yes we have some major EU projects, new roads - very slowly, and some modernisation, but seriosly, i think we pay much more in return...

  • @aporia82

    Did you see how british peasants live in Antalya, Fethiye ? British invade those places and change the way of life and night life. It's disgusting to see those blue collars when they are having fun. I can't stand on this and i will never go to Antalya and Fethiye to have an holiday till they leave. By the way, i m not a hardcore muslim, i love to drink and live with people who do not lost themselves when they re hanging around or drunk. ratty people who brought black death to europe.

  • The Turks have no place in Europe. They have no common cultural heritage with Europe, and they have the expansionist tendencies and high birth rate that go hand in glove with Islam.

    A Turk's place is in Turkey.

  • Turkey joining the EU would upen the floodgates even more to Islamic immigration throughout Europe, and Hanan supports this. Hanan here is serving the interests of the multinational corporations that want cheap labour throughout Europe. He may have once made a good attack on gordon Brown, but don't let him fool you.

  • That was nice speech.. I undestood most of it but i wish to have text of it :(

  • if turkey is that of value to brits, let turkey join the united kingdom !

    turkey has to fullfil its part like every other country who joined the EU.

  • There is no way turkey can fit into europian life. they will complealty ruien it, and most probebly all come into britain.

  • What Daniel says about Turkey's Accession to the EU is absolutely 100% If Sarko wants Armenia, a country further than Turkey to be a member of the EU then Turkey should as well. Armenia has the Nagorno-Karabakh issue to deal with too, akin to Cyprus, but the stupid EU pricks won't care about that....

  • And i thought turkey were asians.

  • Daniel Hannan British people do not want Turkey in Britain.

  • @jilltanjill

    According to recent polls, more than %70 of Turkish people never wants to enter the EU. Most certainly, we don't wanna feed the lazy people of Greece either. You western powers created them an you gonna take care of them, not us.

    So, no thanks. Turkey will never involve into your empire called EU even if you would invite us to join. EU is just a political lie for Turkey which continues for more than 50+ years but we are fed up from it anymore.

  • real 1-), sorry Turkey of course is not perfect, has many issues but many countries had many problems before and after entering EU. As long as Turkey complies the rules/laws of EU, there will be no difference on the paper. However, the question is whether EU is a Christian union or an union of values? If it is a Christian union, then there is no problem, everything fits perfectly, but the reality is that all the big politicians claim that it is a union of values, so the problem starts there.

  • 2-)The typical average EU citizen always looks at Turkey from its bad sides. Of course it is a fault of western media, which uses stereotyped images of Turkey. Since most people know Turkey through media, they should be the one who will be blamed for.For example, even though gays have problems in Turkey, they are openly defending their rights to some degree, having parades, unlike some European countries which bans these parades or acting hostile, like attacking 200 gays in the parade and so on.

  • 3-) It was just an example, there are many examples like this. However, while I am writing this, I am %100 sure that Turkey will be a full member of the union, because it is a indispensable political and economical necessity. Turkey currently has the second fastest growing economy in the world, and is growing very fast last almost 10 years, except 2008-2009. Before that it was also the fastest growing economy in Europe.

  • 4-) One of the largest economies in the EU (I guess It is 7th in the EU) The only secular democracy in the Muslim world.It is the strongest Muslim ally of the west in the world in many aspects. It is the last stronghold of west against Islamic fundamentalists. It is a necessity for EU, that's why I am %100 sure. It is also a necessity for Turkey as well, otherwise it will be in risk of conservatism and it is also an example to follow for better laws.

  • @norelojon

    Turkey is a pseudodemocratic country.

    Is there religious freedom for non-muslims ???

    Turkey banned priest seminars and Holy Mass will be held under police protection!!! And the president of turkey, Erdogan is a

    wolf in sheep's clothing.

    He said these quotes:

    "The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers... "

    or

    "Democracy is like a streetcar. When you come to your stop, you get off. "

    any questions ???

  • @199gSauerkraut We have too many noisy mosques already.

  • @199gSauerkraut Erdogan is not Turkey's president, shows how much you know about Turkey duche bag.

  • @murattk22

    President, PM, whatever. The point is that he's the political leader of Turkey. To be perfectly blunt, Turkey is not significant enough in the world to merit worrying too much over getting the niggling details about their government right. The only reason people give two shits about Erdogan is that he's a blowhard who's basically inciting Turkish immigrants to be a political weapon for Turkey. The Turks are historical enemies of Europe, and have not changed one iota in that regard.

  • @NAARandom I would agree that the world should not worry about Turkey too much since we are not about to carve a new empire through military conquests but the attention to Turkey is being cast by the Europeans not Turkey, anything that Turkey does is big news in Europe and in all honesty which natural resources flowing into the EU through Turkey then it makes sense that the Euro would focus on Turkey but if Europe has continued nightmares about the Muslim bogeyman namely the Ottomans then that

  • @NAARandom is paranoia and remember the paranoid often do no look at themselves. Rather they see enemies and rivals everywhere. Sarkosy and Merkel should quit playing fear tactics and get of their fat lazy asses and actually solve the problem that they have created. Id wager better deals on aid to poor countries and not supporting dictators in the first place would stop the massive flow of people into Europe who are desperate for a better life.

  • @NAARandom Also all nations seek to protect their citizens and so what if Erdogan went to Germany telling German Turks that no one has the right to tell them to integrate and give up their Turkish citizenship, maybe if Merkel actually understands that the problem is discrimination (hence the clustering of Turks into tight socially divided groups) against the Turks. If you can get a piece of the pie then you would do what you can to get it but if your denied it then you would form defensive walls

  • @murattk22

    Well, I don't think they should integrate. I would like for Germans to live in Germany, and for Turks to live in Turkey. That said, the Turks are the ones choosing to live in a society other than their own, so the onus is on them to make it work as best they can. The same would be expected of any Germans (or anyone else, for that matter) who chose to immigrate to Turkey. If they want to live in a country where the interests of Turks come first, they can move back to Turkey.

  • @NAARandom I agree with most of what you say however remember the Germans desperate to rebuild their economy invited the Turks en mass after WW2, if the Turks have gotten to the current hopeless closed in ghetto societies today then perhaps this is not only the Turks fault. From the start Germany should have had programs of acceptance not of division for their immigrants. Nations that actively welcome immigrants into their society such as New Zealand and Australia do not have this problem.

  • @norelojon Are not Lebanon and Iraq also?

  • @norelojon good points

  • @norelojon

    Well Done!

  • @norelojon all true but Turkey IS NOT IN EUROPE. Only 3% is...

  • 5-) Then why I am writing this much info, if I am %100 sure? Because I believe this hostility against Turkey may risk many things even if it don't risk the full membership. When you are hostile against Turkey, it will be in risk of anti-westernization. It is currently very high, and %60 of Turks don't want to be EU member, it is largely because of this hostility.

  • 6-) Turks, who are sided themselves with Europeans for 100 years (and its foundation starts before than that), who are sided themselves with western world against communism, even though she paid a heavy toll, now looking Europe and seeing that ex communist states becoming full member, and acting against Turks like a frenemy. It is and will harm Europe in the long run. I don't think any European would want a more conservative state, within and without their borders, which is also against west.

  • no for Turkey!we Hungarians have had them for 150 years which was more than enough!:D

    kidding aside: I have nothing against Turkey joining the EU,but the huge number of muslims we already have makes me think if we wanted more here in Europe?

    Above all,the most of the land is not in Europe,which means israel could form rights to join the EU(they want to),but we just cant have it!

  • I was scared of what I might have said on the subject, but I deeply respect this man's clear thought.

  • they occupy 39% of cyprus who is a member of the eu.how can you accept that?how much did they pay you mr hannan?we have been waiting for more than 36 years to get our land and homes back from them.people like you daniel make me sick.

  • @johnnywires3 You realise that the occupation of Cyprus took place a long time before Cyprus even CONSIDERED joining the EU, right?

  • @johnnywires3 Well ... Do you want the British empire ?

  • @tincoffin fuck the british empire.the brits are the cause of many of the worlds problems.somehow they believe in being above all other nations.........wankers.

  • @johnnywires3 While the British Empire was in existence Cyprus was Greek. When the British Empire was dissolved and British forces were under NATO command then the Turks took over part of the island .

  • @tincoffin there are many former colonial nations that wanted rid of the British, and many fought against us, but there are many that now think it would of been better if we hadnt left, Aden in yemen was one such place, under the british a prosperous port, yea, us brits got our piece of the action but even the people that fought us now prefer what it was compared to the extremist al-qeuda stronghold it is today.

  • @johnnywires3 Well then wait for the EU to give it back to you .

  • Turk will never join, or war will wage...

  • Damn the Turks. They are Ibliss and Afreets. Everybody knows that, even the crazy blood thirsty Iranians.

    Who wants bloody butcher-massacrer-genocider for neighbours. Now they want to finish off the Jews even though it is well deserved.

  • Turkey is not for the EU. Its not nanny state enough. 

  • Eurosceptics sometimes are so criminally shortsighted. Opposing the EU is fine and everything but it does not mean they must automatically act as modern day versions of Oswald Mosley or "useful idiots" of creeping islamization of Europe, which Turkey's accession to the EU is only a vehicle of.

  • @LKHK76 If eurosceptics acted as Oswald Mosley ,as you tell us they do, then they would presumably be effective in opposing the "Islamisation of Europe" and if they are "useful idiots of creeping islamisation " then they cannot logically be acting like Oswald Mosley can they ? Do you think at all before you say something .

  • @tincoffin Google up the meaning of words like "metaphore" or perhaps even "hyperbole" because that was what I meant comparing attitude of certain eurosceptics towards Turkey to that of Oswald Mosley towards Nazis 70 years ago. And yes they (eurosceptics) would be able to go as far as dragging Turkey into the EU if it meant its detriment.

  • @tincoffin Well, what I wrote was meant to be a metaphore of comparing Hennans attitude towards Turkey to that of Mosley towards nazi Germany. Similarly one can claim that unfortunately the worst of British traditions of appeasment are still alive and kicking, re: Cameron's pledge to "fight" for Turkey's admission to the EU. And yes I do believe islam is the same problem in 21st century nazism and communism were in the 20th.

  • @LKHK76 Well I loathe the EU anyway . They are an entirely useless bunch of bureaucrats who exist to help themselves but if they do anything useful at all they might admit Turkey . The old Roman Empire contained Turkey . I feel that Turkey is a key player , a very important regional power which we should get onside . Mosley was a fascist so obviously supported Hitler like Henlein in your country .

  • @LKHK76 And you are quite right to call us "appeasers" . In the worst tradition of this country. Our politicians will do anything to accommodate themselves to the Franco - German axis . They say that they will stand up to them but they never do and they know that we do not believe a word they say. Familiar to you ?

  • @tincoffin Even if the Franco-German axis is from time to time right as is the case with Turkey's membership... will the UK oppose them as a matter of principle regardless of consequences?

  • @LKHK76 No ! As I said Our government openly lies to us . They say things that they do not expect to be believed. Oddly enough this is quite a new phenomenon in UK . The only hope lies in like-minded people on the internet...
