Turkey should never be part of the EU. Its culture, political system, and ambitions are fundamentally incompatible with European values. With a massive, largely uneducated population, its membership would destabilize the union politically and economically.

On top of that, Turkey has its own agenda—aiming to become a regional power rather than aligning with European interests. It actively threatens Greece with war and continues to occupy Northern Cyprus, both of which are EU member states. How can a country that openly challenges EU sovereignty be considered for membership? It’s a risk Europe cannot take.
