Turkey was never going to be allowed entry because its a muslim majority nation. It had better conditions then basically all the balkan nations that are in EU now when they were allowed entry, so much so they used to emigrate to Turkey for work. As things are going now Turkey will never be allowed also because EU uses it as a trashcan for refugees. Anyone who argues otherwise is either stupid or a hypocrite.

Turkish people can best be described as “Anatolian”, neither fully eastern or western. The closer to the Aegean you go in Turkey the more western the outlook, yet the closer to the southeast and Iran you go the more middle eastern.

What is this strange culture that Europeans are better or smarter or that Europeans are preferred or vice versa that Asians or others are each person and his country? It does not matter if you are European, African, Asian or Latin, your country and country are more important. Like China, which is an Asian country, they have the second strongest economy in the world, larger than European countries. Do you understand the point?

My father, mother and I were born and raised in the European side of Istanbul. My maternal grandfather's roots are from Bulgaria, and my paternal grandmother's roots are from Romania. My father's great-grandfather came to Istanbul from Eastern Anatolia during the Ottoman period (around the 1880s) so all my relatives have been in Istanbul for almost two centuries. I have white skin with brown hair and eyes... Kinda mixed, right? I think that's why Turkish people are depressed, we don't feel white/European or Asian. Our genes are diverse and rich. And we live in the most strategic place in the world: right in the middle of Europe and Asia... Thank you to the great Ottoman Empire for this complicated situation, lol.

Careful consideration? In reality the most correct statement is that some Turks are more Asian and some are more European. We have genetics from both sides so there is a lot of diversity. For example, even though I am Turkish I have Asian-looking “pulled” eyes as we call them in Turkish. My friends would joke around and call me Chinese because of this, and in reality I probably do have a lot of Chinese blood. And If not Chinese, at least Kazak or Mongol or soemthing like that. So the fact that we border Europe means nothing. Turks in the modern day are an incredible mixture of Asian and European genes so depending on which side powers through in different people, different characteristics come to play. And also just to add, our culture is way more Asian than European. Our cuisine, our religion, everything.

And even the natives of the old land of Turkey, called Anatolia, are considered Asians despite some being blonde and Italian-looking or living the "European way". It's all about geology.
