I agree, I think Turkey should quit trying to join the EU.

Well, let our lousy politicians clean up their corrupted acts for a while trying to get in. I have bigger dreams than the EU, and I'm pretty sure they're attainable for us if we remain sovereign. Anyway, we fought and kicked those asses out of the Turkish heartland in our post WW1 war of independence. Why give ourselves up now?
