Should Turkey be allowed to join the EU?
They arent really a European nation, does that matter?
They have a very poor record on human rights, would it best to keep them out until they clean up or bring them in and make them clean up by introducing EU law, would this work?
Also to be considered is the poor state of the Turkish economy and its role as a strategic partner, especially with regards to Iraq..............

That aside, I suspect that current EU reservations to advance the membership framework process are only exacerbated by the election of an Islamist government.
The EU has traditionally been representative of western and central European "christian" countries which undoubtedly would take a dim view of a full blown Islamic country in their midst (certainly in light of the tense feelings of most EU citizens concerning the current level of Muslim immigrants in various member states).
