There are many Turks who genuinely feel European, albeit whether they
understand European values is another matter (take for example their
outrageous conviction that Cyprus is Turkish which is contrary to every
legal, historical and ethical argument). However, "Turkey" does not
belong in Europe. And yes, Christianity has a lot to do with it. The
values that permeate Europe are inspired by / based upon Christianity
whereas "Turkey" is mainly influenced by Islam which is similar to
Christianity only in so far that they both revere a supreme being. Islam
however is a political proposition more than anything else, and the
values it projects are completely different than Christianity's.
Starting with the freedom to be religious or not. Christianity advises.
Islam dictates. Therefore "Turkey" is not & cannot be European. Le
Pen is right. The sooner Turks realize it, the better off they will be.

Turkey's Kurds & Cyprus' tCypriots
As either unitary state or federation solutions are discussed as replacements to Cyprus' 1960 and Turkey's 1923 unworkable constitutions, should we abide by "if a right is a right too many for Turkey's Kurdish community (circa 23% of population) then that right is a right too many for Cyprus' tCypriot community too (circa 15%), and vice versa." Is the adoption of this fair logic the catalyst to securing just solutions for both UN countries.
