Turkey and Europe to make a union?

[Sovz]

You even don't have an own Belg language.

LOL, He got you there

CCR, please don't write any off-topics here :arrow:

And, hey, Fas ist, you know what kind of name Bulgar is? IT'S ALTAIC ASSRAPER.

Usually "manaf" means an Altaic assraper.

and because you are Bulgarian you are probably part Turkish, Bulgar, Slav, Romanian, Greek, Romany

And because I am Bulgarian, I am probably part Slav, Bolgar, Thracian, Greek, Turkish, <strike>Romanian</strike>, <strike>Romany</strike>.

 

[Sovz]

And because I am Bulgarian, I am Romanian, Romany.........

we can easily find out whether or not you have romanian blood in you.....

Fas ist- chin up, trousers down.

I'm kind of curious where the EU intends to finally demarcate. After all it's expansion is now starting to reach the borders of what is traditionally thought of as Europe. (Unless you included Russia, which is debatable.) Once you get down into Anatolia and the Steppes of Russia it sort of stops being a European Union, doesn't it? Oh well, I support the concept of supranationalism anyways.

All the Europeans came from a simular place!

No they don't - the Basques and the Magyars didn't, for one.
Also, if you go back far enough, all humans come from the same place. So these kind of arguments in the EU-enlargement debate fail to impress me, really. If you want the EU to be a club of all those who happened to live somewhere in the Southern Russian Indo-European homeland 5000 years ago, you're a tad of a douche.

True.16 years ago, almost all of these 10 countries were socialistic, against capitalism and EU.But what's the point of deterring the membership of Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania, after those 10 were accepted?

Because they did not meet our requirements (or, alternatively, didn't feel like joining).

And Turkey - it is not an European country.

Geographically? Culturally? What're you talking about?

Also - it is an extremely poor one(from an European point of view).

It's also one of the world's fastest-growing economies, with a young highly-educated population. It'd be a huge boost to our economy, whereas the EU-10 are just dragging us down (sorry, slavheads)

People there are not educated

...

"Education is compulsory and free from age 6 to 14. There are around 820 higher education institutes including universities, with total student enrollment of over 1 million. The 15 main universities are in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. Tertiary education is the responsibility of Higher Education Council, and funding is provided by the state. From 1998 the universities were given greater autonomy, and were encouraged to raise funds from partnerships with industry.

There are approximately 85 universities in Turkey. There are two types of universities, state and (private) foundational. State universities charge very low fees and foundationals are highly expensive with fees that can climb to 15.000$ or sometimes even more. The capacity in total of Turkish universities is approximately 300.000. Some universities can even compete with the best world universities whereas some are unable to provide the necessary educational standards due to financial problems and underfunding. However, university students are a lucky minority in Turkey. Universities provide either two or four years of education for undergraduate studies. For graduate studies, two further years is necessary, as is typical throughout the world."

My god, when I was to Istanbul in March this year, I saw at least 10 000 Turkish flags just for a few days .But Istanbul is not Turkey.If you want to feel the real "spirit" of Turkey go to Anatolia

1. I severely doubt you can count up to 10000. If you can, you didn't bother to.

2. So what?

Once you get down into Anatolia and the Steppes of Russia it sort of stops being a European Union, doesn't it?

Semantics. We'll just start calling it "The Union"...

Hmmm, perhaps "World Union" would work better.

In any case it's a good chance to annoy the crumbling giant that is the US

EDIT: I got it! "United States of Indo-Europe"! The USIE!

Of course they dont.. They still occupy a part of my country for 31 years now ILLIGALY.. The island of CYPRUS...

So what? Britain is occupying a part of Iraq illegally right now, they didn't get kicked out of the EU for it.

Hell, I don't care. As I said, I prefer the idea of one world state over the fragmented crap we have right now. If only the UN would be exactly that in action instead of just in name.
