Only two countries in Europe did not accept XVIIIc partitions of Poland..

Again, remember to separate the people from the politicians :)

So you think, Crow represents all Serbian people.

Absolutely not but that wasn't my point.

Both countries had very practical reasons not to accept the partitions, Belgium had a strong pro-Polish group with many Polish descended aristocrats and Turkey was doing this as a "fvck you" to Russia, no big deal.

I agree, Crow. I am starting to lose it ;)

Belgium?

Meant Denmark.

There is also a polish village in Istanbul since 1842. Some more info about it.

what`s your point? that Turks likes and respect Poles?

listen, only from behind

If you read the link and thread header you'll understand but anyway, This doesn't concern you. Mind your own silly business.

You left all the treasure of the Empire in sacks of coffee beans?Damn,that's how these Austrians became rich.(I suppose you took all he sacks of hassish beans to Turkey).

yes, they were corrupted by Turks

They were at least able to resist.

pardon?

i know you're greek and all so i thought you'd know better but obviously you don't. turkey is NOT a european country.

Then why Turkey always trying to get into the EU? Don't they realize it's not possible?

it's to their benefit to get in with the euros.. and who said eu is that exclusive.. none the less, i'm against them joining eu mainly because they are not in europe. true.

notice this map of EUROPE:



turkey is clearly NOT green.

I don't think they belong in EU either. Why do they need to be in that if they are Asian? Turkey and Israel are two countries who wish they were in Europe but aren't so they pretend as much as they can.

yup. they can start their own "union" if they wish.

The real question, plk, is, why aren't Europe and Asia one continent? Technically, they are. Eurasia is one piece of land with a few islands and penisulas. Maybe one day its name will change to represent its true form?

Who said that this is not possible?


Rejection of Turkey just because of geographical reasons have no sense. Either you find such move profitable for either Poland, yourself or Brussels (or any other subject that you sympathize with) or not.


Division origin from cultural matters which have influence on political developments.

Turkey never belonged to Europe culturally,linguistically or in any other form.

I feel kinda the same with Russia, but everyone tell me they are in Europe. It's just wierd. Turkey is OK to be in EU I say. Ofc they have to have all the things done to enter.

I think THAT will take some loooong time

EU is only one option for Turkey. In fact, more than half of the Turks are against EU nowadays. Personally I am against EU membership too.

Turkey's EU membership can realize if nations of both sides agree with it.
