Why do they want to be European so bad?

Can someone explain to me what they want to be. First, they say they hardcore Turk nationalists who have no European heritage or culture and are culturally independent but also desperately want to be European and want to be seen as white.

>why do people want to be associated with something better
gee, who knows?

Moving to Turkey next year. Wish me luck.

Western turkey is unironically more evropean than USA

This , and that Turkey used to own the Balkans which made them European.

Isnt all of their nearest european neighbors (eastern europe) dogshit compared turkey though
Why

Because it's cheap

The prestige and gibs

Because they are poor and need free money

>Why do they want to be European so bad?
Why wouldn't everyone?

fairly certain greece, bulgaria, and romania are in better conditions than turkey

To get access to European financing to grow their economy.

/thread.

they're descendants of the sassanids

SUSsanids

They are literally the ONLY Europeans

Lmao no it doesn't, plus Western Europeans look down on Balkans aside from Greece.

Retard

I'm not tvrk but I guess the secularists want to distance themselves from islam, which they see as an arab religion and want to live european lifestyle so they want to "join" Europe and be like them

its either being associated with us or being associated with arabs, right now they're somewhere in between
i think most people here just think they're arabs

Kemal Ataturk worshippers.

>its either being associated with us or being associated with arabs
delusional. Who in their right mind would associate turkey with england?

>Romania
Oh no no no no.

I meant "us" as in europe
the second "us" I meant british people
i should have been clearer
