They did it by attacking Cyprus in 1974 when both Greece and Turkey were NATO members, they did it by shooting down a helicopter above the Imia islands in 1996, now they have openly declared that they will use their war machine to occupy the oil resources of Aegean Sea. EU has announced sanctions against Russia and Belarus during the last years, but has taken no action agaisnt Turkey.

The EU would very much like to have Turkey join up. Much easier (legal) immigration for Non-Whites, complete control over the Bosporus and Black Sea, that sweet black gold in the Aegean. They've been sucking up to them for years and were even pulling the race-card (shocker) on people who disagreed to shut down debate. I don't know how Turkey feels about it; I don't see how they'd have much to gain besides increased trade.

Turkey joining the EU is impossible, nobody wants them in especially Greece.

Do you really think the governing body of the EU actually gives a shit what its member states want?

No but Turkey is literally an enemy of europe and has always been, they need approoval from everybody to let a new member join and the only country that was supportive of Turkey joining was the UK I think.
