Turks have been trying to get into Europe ever since they first left China/Mongolia....

It think Turks belong in Europe because thats what the 'through-and-through Turks' have always wanted.

@simonlooker7 ignorance is bliss for you i guess

@simonlooker7 PKK long ago left Turkey and runaway to Iraq under Israeli and US wings. PKK once called themselves as "Eagles of mountains" now go South East Turkey and see any eagle if you can. Mountains, valleys, roads, towns are boiling with Turkish commandos. In spite of all Western support PKK became the only guerilla group in history who can not hold even 1 m2 land of where they put a claim on as Kurdistan. Every strategist says this is a great success for an army in an asymetric war.

Turkey should bring back the ottoman islamic banking system, real money not like shitty paper money with debt attached but gold and silver coin with no interest and usury.

@callmethebeast01 I totally AGREE with you. Just look at the next door, Greece, EU member and how are they doing,and how is Turkey doing today? Ireland already felt the heat, Spain and Portugal are feeling the heat.

If Erdogan would of asked me, I would of tell him..You are doing better off with out EU, Mr. PM.

By the way, Ottoman Empire ruled my country for a while, and we still support them...

i dont know when this was made. but now is 22/10/2010 and europe isnt what it was. i will not discuss the power or importance of turkey but what i will say is turkey is the 17 largest economy in the world and growing. europe should be begging us like the nato did, to join them.

[mmitwaly]

I hope Turkey doesnt join the failing EU and rises as the ottoman Islamic Union again.
