First of all Adana, the benefits of Europe are no less beneficial for us if the large European countries are opposed to our entrance or not. At the end of the day, they do not have veto powers to stop our accession have you ever thought that in case of referendum veto will increase?, and neither can they alone stop our accession. Plus, we have the backing of Britain which you fail to mention.And the support of Poland,which you fail to mention as well
Of course Turkey needs such a democracy, or have you forgotten the importance of democracy within our independant state? Improvement of democracy means improvement of political freedoms and civil rights for everybody to in joy, be it gay or lesbian, christian, muslim or Jew. How can you even question such a thing? Are you forgetting the work of our founding father?Never but how can mentality of religious people suddenly trigger secular thinking?
A new colonisation era? Intregrating within a continent of modernized, advanced civilizations in no part entails colonisation. Where have you got this from? Inorder for us to feel like insiders in Europe, changes must be made at home. I Always kept on repeating that Turkey has enough power itself to make all neccessary changes That includes reforms and modernization within our society. A westernized democracy and society is whats neccessary to make turks feel more at home in Europe, and there failure to integrate into places such as Germany is evident our society is not as modern as we should be. Therefore, yes, feeling at home in Europe is neccessary. Isn´t it general attitude to Turkey in Europe that makes you not feeling at home?
Though you state quiet correctly turkey can grow without Europe, you clearly have little idea on the workings or point of the EU. If we compared Turkey to how it is now, to what a European Turkey could be like, you"ll notice statistically Turkey will have a much bigger potential of becoming a power within Europe, and a bigger one. I noticed ,and also noticed European fear of it
EU new colony? You lack of knowledge on the union is evident in your statements. I live in Eu member state,seeing benefits and drawbacks for our economy.Infact its pretty amusing. Thank you -it was my goal to amuse I wont even referr to your other comments on european crusaders I only wonder if Turks like their land being bought by foreigners?or european collapse-13 American states also wants sovereignty,just a thought.. as you english is so aweful yours is awesome)i cant understand fully what you said. Clearly your backward mentality ....ouch) I will melt if you call me a nationalist is preventing you from seeing Turkey needs the EU to modernize, and progess, something you obviously do not wish turkey to do.You jump into conclusions very fast ,unfortunately wrong ones.I did not say or even had the slightest idea that Turkey should not modernise and progress.Personally I am for Turkey in EU,free travelling ,work access and settlement. I am only trying to show general European biased tendency against its access.You follow euphoria of EU committee distracted a bit now by the Czech Republic goverment crisis.
Are you blind not to see that in Europe Turkey is considered Asian,Islamic ,backward country by ordinary Europeans if you like it or not and media do not create positive picture of Turkey.
Just to your knowledge I strongly oppose such thinking but ppl who think Turkey should be part of EU are in minority.
Thanks for your childish comeback at my posts, im hopeful ill hear more in the future 
you wish you have)
BTW welcome to TCL again)
and have a nice day!
