Nobody thinks like that AUz.(well, except you)
Turkey isn't invited in due to a host of reasons
, the main ones being that it will alter the balance of power in the EU parliament (to a degree, the Nordic block and France will still call the shoots), because of it's population (the EU is already in a precarious spot due to the open border policies) and because it's not seen as a fully working secular state.Also it's not exactly a economical powerhouse, with mixed prospects, and with 80 million people at E Europe levels.
Muslim and "scared" are very low on that list, if they're on the list at all.
Military might is even lower on that list as NATO exists and for whatever else the EU armies are enough, with the possibility of rapid militarization if needed. R&D is another aspect as the W countries are decades ahead. In short, it doesn't matter since the fall of the USSR.
Population - there is a lot of untapped potential in E Europe (Ukraine, Belarus), plus what immigrants they get from outside of the EU, plus the millions of Turks that will come here anyway, plus that demographics for the W countries themselves might change.
So, I personally believe that the next decade is crucial for Turkey, if it maintains a secular outlook and a Western orientation or if it goes down another path.But I can't see Turkey entering the EU for the foreseeable future.
@TurkeyForever you should do some research on "poor Poland" , you will be very surprised.
