In response to concerns regarding Turkey's EU membership based on geographical positioning, may I offer that Turkey has and continues to compete as part of Europe when it comes to sporting tournaments, Eurovision, etc. Although small, a portion of the country, including the great city of Istanbul, once the capital of the Eastern 'Roman" Empire, sits on Europe. We have to come up with other excuses for not wanting Turkey in EU. The question should not be whether Turkey is part of Europe but whether EU should part with Turkey.

Having some land (althougha small percentage), including the great city of Istanbul, on the European continent, should pre-qualify Turkey as European.
