I can see geography is not your strong suite.

Turkey is in both Europe and Asia, bridged by the Bosphorus straight.

The fact that around 3% of the land area of Turkey is on the European side of the straights is irrelevant to my point. Why do you think that tiny sliver of land and population makes Turkey 'European'?? In population, culture, and history Turkey is most obviously NOT European. Bringing Turkey into the EU means massive agricultural subsidies to what will now be one of the poorest EU nations and further pushing the EU in a direction which is the opposite of what they should be doing.
