We don't get to rewrite facts just because they don't fit our narrative. It's not "fake news" that Turkey is in Europe. It's geography.
Is there still such a thing like instrumentalist snobbery around?

This "is Turkey in Europe?" off topic theme is really a charmer. Man, you will never get over this one, will you? 
Now here is the solution: It has been debated for decades whether Turkey could be a member of the European Union, and not because of geography, but due to issues like economy and respect for human rights.

Thus, Turkey is geographically a part of Europe, period. Does that help?

No, it does not help because geographically it is not part of Europe. Sure, a small corner is, but that doesn't mean the whole country is. Even Istanbul is split into a European and an Asian part, nor is Istanbul the capital of Turkey.IncarnateX wrote:This "is Turkey in Europe?" off topic theme is really a charmer.

I don't really care either way, frankly, but I can't change geography. Let alone culture, with Islam being a major non-European trait. Polls among Europeans have repeatedly shown that the majority do not want Turkey in the EU for all kinds of reasons. Some sort of partnership is ok, though.

Turkey was one of the first countries to become a member of the Council of Europe in 1949

Yeah as long as they keep the rivers of refugees away from the first world, so we can cry about our broken nails and other first world problems without getting distracted by people dying from starvation.fluffy_little_something wrote: Some sort of partnership is ok, though.

Then again, nor is Turkey interested in the EU because they liked Europeans so much, in fact most Turks are not exactly fond of the EU. It is mostly an economic interest...
