Sigmar Gabriel: "Turkey will never be EU member under Erdogan."

[G-Man]

[QUOTE]BERLIN (Reuters) - Turkey will never be a member of the European Union as long as it is governed by Tayyip Erdogan, German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said on Thursday, accusing the Turkish president of failing to take accession talks with the bloc seriously.

His remarks in an interview with mass-selling newspaper Bild are likely to further inflame relations between the two NATO allies after Erdogan urged German Turks to boycott Germany's main parties in next month's general election.

"It is clear that in this state, Turkey will never become a member of the EU," Gabriel said. "It's not because we don't want them but because the Turkish government and Erdogan are moving fast away from everything that Europe stands for." [/QUOTE]

Pretty sure Erdogan doesn't give a shit, this has been obvious for a long time and he made no effort to invert the trend.

[Doozle]

No shit, we all fucking knew this

In the run up to brexit, those supporting leaving the EU were like"why you wanna be part of a group that allows a turd like Erdogan to take part?"

Anyone with a pair of brain cells to rub together knew Erdogan's Turkey would never be part of the EU.

It's a genuine shame as well what Erdogan's doing to that country. The people are lovely, tourism is pretty much fucked there now. I'm not convinced that anyone [I]really[/I] supports
