What are you talking about? This is exactly the WRONG thing to do when this is happening. Plus, letting Turkey into the EU means that 80 million turks can now roam around EU nations with no border controls. Not only would it be a security risk, but there would be millions of turks flooding the labour market in other nations as well. It would be an absolute disaster.

I'm talking about when Turkey was on the verge of joinging the EU before Erdogan got an iron clad Islamist grip on the country. Joining the EU before he starting ruinging the place may have helped secure its moderate secular foundations. But no too many EU countries were shit scared of a "Muslim" country being inside the circle, when it was actually a secular country with a majority Muslim (and modetrate) population. It's too late now.

According to who? Because from what I have heard, Turkey was a long way from the EU with or without Erdogan. You have to keep in mind that Turkey isn't even a primarly European country, and bringing it into the union could open up security issues (proximity to the ME). So no, it is not the EU's fault for what has happened. And how would bringing Turkey into the EU change things that much? The electorate wanted Erdogan, and this is what they get.
