| May 25, 2021 at 10:48 | comment | added | Shadow1024 | As Polish, I really doubt that my compatriots are for Turkish accession, though some politicians may make some odd claims for external consumption. Right now it's not even a subject of debate, if it ever become a hot topic issue, we're not going to like it. Really, whole Eastern Europe which become openly unwelcoming during migrant crisis of 2015 and is unlikely that would suddenly be welcoming some peoples from that region. | |
| May 24, 2021 at 11:15 | comment | added | StephenG - Help Ukraine | Since then Turkey under Ergodan has been increasingly at odds with European attitudes on human rights and freedoms so I suspect this map is way out of date. A lot of people took not providing a seat for the female head of the EU Commission at a press event as a sign of just how hostile relations are. | |

| May 24, 2021 at 8:19 | comment | added | MrVocabulary | @PeteW if memory serves well, under the European law countries cannot access the Union without having border disputes solved with all of its current members (that's the main problem for Serbia and Fyrom). | |

| May 24, 2021 at 6:26 | comment | added | Relaxed | @MPS To the extent that Turkey really wants to join, accession talks is when EU members have the most leverage. Greece and Cyprus would presumably demand a full resolution of the situation but shutting the door as a matter of principle just makes that leverage disappear (at this point the only real question for both parties is whether to continue negotiations or open new chapters, actual membership is years or decades in the future at best). Interesting map and article in any case (+1) | |
| May 24, 2021 at 1:48 | comment | added | Pete W | @Ross Presser - sorry, I didn't make this map, see link. MPS - yes that is strange. The linked article briefly talks about Greece and Cyprus being hopeful, that under EU jurisdiction, territorial disputes with Turkey would be less difficult in some way. | |
| May 24, 2021 at 1:20 | comment | added | MPS | Wasn't at least Cyprus always strongly against due to the Cyprus dispute where Turkey has always been in the opposite camp? Has that changed? | |
| May 24, 2021 at 0:52 | comment | added | Ross Presser | I don't love the color choice in this chart. It is not easy for me to tell them apart without staring hard. | |
