Now it’s time for Sweden to let Turkey in the EU
Steady on. Erdoğan’s Islamifying the place as a populist, undoing Atatürk’s vision. Turkey belongs in the GCC rather than the EU if it’s on its way to theocracy.
I guess that answers the question.
The GCC is Arab countries and Turkey is not an Arab country. And the GCC are dictators not theocracies.
The EU is not about to let Turkey join, and the main reason is that Turkey don’t really want to.
Sweden has generally been pretty supportive of Turkish EU accession. Cyprus is a far bigger issue.
The Cyprus problem is just sad.
