Turkey would be the biggest 'real' (non-oil) economy in the middle east. Though I'm sure Isreal has more 'industry' as far as anything up to date and competitive.
Turkey is not really a midlle eastern country, I mean they are European...
Yeah they're kind of in between. I think they're dreaming if they think they'll get into the EU though.
If Cyprus is getting in next week, Turkey will in a few years
No, they're not. Cyprus is a mediterranaean country. The French will never accept Turkey, they're too Europe-racist, sort of. Not only them of course, but I believe it's more pronounced in France.
