that too is a valid point.................but why Turkey would want to join this ramshakled mob beats me.
Let me tell you something...... when Mustafa Kemal suggested Europeanisation as a way forward for Turkey, this level of European idiot hadnt yet been discovered.
Only to be used as a weapon to frighten both USA and EU. It's Russia that would gain from this by having free access into the med, which would put the fear of god into US and EU.
Some people on this forum have all but forgotten the important role Turkey has been playing by protecting the southern flank of Europe. Of course then they are Europeans but when it comes joining the EU then they become scum.
Go ahead, give the USA and the EU a reason to ruin Turkey every possible way by encouraging her to dump the west and be a "satellite state" of Russia. Do you have anymore stupid ideas, or was this your best one yet.?

Russia already has a free access to the Mediterranean. When was the last time Turkey blocked any Russian ships or subs from passing under the Istanbul’s Suspension Bridge in either direction.?
Why do you think the Americans help build that bridge anyway. Any hostile move by Turkey and Russia duet against the west, and the bridge comes down, blocking all shipping coming or going through that strait.!
