You need to have some manners first, then ask your questions about Turkey.

Kick China out of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization?

Good luck, since there is no chance of you joining the EU, this is your way forward. Join the SCO and kick China out.

I don't think this can happen since organisation name it's self is shanghai cooperation organisation
& any one knows whether india will join SCO
This can result in greater sino-indian friendship

there is no left attraction of membership of EU as much as befor in the eyes of our people..in 90s 80% of people want Turkey to be EU member. but now, it down under 50% and arround between 30%-40%.

Turkey richer than many EU members now..Citizens of many EU members countries like Bulgaria and Romania illegaly work in Turkey...
many of turkish citizens work in EU have their own business...some of them waiting for their retirments...but most of them think return to turkey in long term...

But we must accept that, agenda of EU membership corntributed turkey to tidy up herslef in many fields, such as to increase standarts and creterions of living, health, democracy, bureucracy, judgment etc since 10 years..

so like majority of Turkish citizens i dont mind to be or not be member of EU but feel thanks to EU since they incited us to pick up ourself..

Joining EU is no longer an economic goal, it's pure power play.

If Turkey joins EU with it's growing population it will surpass Germany and politically dominate EU. At some point this will happen.

And thats what we need mate...Energy, energy and energy...EU is a lost cause, they have absouletly nothing to offer us anymore, we are already doing good compared to EU as a whole anyways. I would choose SCO over EU at anytime without questioning

What energy? Turkey is much closer to energy sources. Our job is to dominate the Middle East and establish ties with central Asian Turkic countries. Over time it'll allow us to spread our influence through Causcaus to Asia.

 

[Quasar]

we have to improve our relations with China (and Turkic states) in almost every possible field and we start doing it so. About comparing SCO with EU or NATO... sorry but this does not sound accurate... yet... and this will be the case for the coming years.

glad that we start following a more balanced policy toward Asia but still I should say it is not an out come of a political choice of our decision makers but rather an acknowledgement of chaning realities of world economy and politcs.

Turkey and the European Union have failed to make substantial progress in their accession talks, pushing Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to once again say that Turkey is seriously considering seeking membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) as an alternative at a time when the EU’s future looks increasingly dim.
Speaking to reporters during a televised program aired in Kanal 24 late on Friday, Erdoğan said Turkey is now seeking alternative options amid eroding hopes on the EU process with regard to adamant opposition to Turkey’s membership by a number of EU member countries.

Touching upon a wide array of issues, Erdoğan said Turkey is seriously considering being part of the SCO.

Turkey was accepted as a dialogue partner by the SCO at its annual summit in Beijing on June 7.

“The fact is that we have not yet given up on the EU process. Egemen Bağış makes his presentation on [Turkey-EU] relations at every Cabinet meeting. He regularly travels throughout Europe,” Erdoğan said, citing the government’s continuing interest in the EU despite the pessimistic atmosphere.

Regarding ongoing peace talks with the terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Erdoğan said he is ready to take any risk to end the dispute that has claimed the lives of thousands of people over the past three decades. “I’m aware of the risk I have taken. If there is a fire, extinguish it with water. If I can’t, I try to push it away from me, to a point where it cannot hurt me.”

He said Turkey is in the process of finding a solution and that the government is ready to use any instrument in this process to come up with a viable solution.

He also touched upon an ongoing discussion on the definition of the nation in the Constitution. Erdoğan said his party is ready to discuss a new definition and urged other parties to decide whether defining the concept of nation will take place though a constitutional change or if the matter will be settled through a minor change to existing law.

“Some of our friends from the Peace and Democracy Party [BDP] have called me and I told them that it upsets me if they doubt my sincerity,” Erdoğan said, calling on BDP deputies to lower the tone of their remarks. Erdoğan said he would not be able to bear the harsh remarks.

“They deliver speeches in Diyarbakır. At the end of the speech they say, ‘The prime minister, who backs peace efforts, is bombing our Kurdish brothers.’ Why should I bomb my Kurdish brothers?” Erdoğan asked, underlining that Turkey bombs terrorists in the mountains.

Erdoğan also lamented the poor cooperation between the EU and Turkey in the fight against terrorism.

“Nearly three years ago [former French President Nicolas] Sarkozy told me in a G-20 meeting that he had a surprise thing to tell me. He told me France would turn one of the prominent leaders of the terrorist organization over to Turkey. Sarkozy is gone but no one was turned anyone over to us,” Erdoğan said.

"Sayın Putin'e 'Şangay 5'lisine bizi alın. Biz de Avrupa Birliği'ne Allahısmarladık diyelim' dedim. Şangay beşlisi daha iyi. Çok daha güçlü. Gelin derseniz geliriz dedik. Pakistan istiyor. Hindistan istiyor. Onların da talebi var. Hep beraber gideriz."

Erdoğan said " Get us to Shanghai CO. We say Allahısmarladık the European Union. Shanghai is better. Much more powerful. Pakistan wants. India wants. They also have a request. I always go together."

I hope this was really a joke. I don't want to live in a third world democracy like Russia, China or Iran.
