Meanwhile, Obama's approval rating in Austria collapsed from 80% to 42% after announcing his support for Turkey to join the EU.
HC Strache, FPÖ leader, strongly attacked Obama for it and urged him to admit Turkey as 51. US state and later dealing with the cost of integration and immigration that would result from it. He said Turkey is not part of Europe, has never been and negotiations about joining need to be stopped immediately and never resumed.

Hey, I'd be happy to have European Turkey (and some of the Ionian coastline) join up. Anatolia...meh.
