Cyprus is directly adjacent to EU member states and has a western culture, and has very strong ties to Greece, almost having undergone enosis with it.

That’s literally the same argument you can make on Canada with Britain and France.

We have a land border with Denmark and maritime border with France.

So you’re still drawing arbitrary political lines.

Morocco once applied for membership to the European Economic Community in 1987, which was promptly rejected. Geography and culture do very much play a role.

Morocco and Turkey both have culture, economic and political incompatibilities with the EU that Canada has avoided itself.

Geography and culture do very much play a role.

A lot of Canada was historically part of New France and Britain. Norway had claims on the Sverdrup Islands.

We have established geography is arbitrary and what are the cultural issues you have with Canada?

If a country meets the eu requirements what does it matter where it’s situated. I also support Taiwan joining NATO even if article 5 only covers half of the country.

There are a lot of contradictions in your reply.

That's what this is all about.

Turkey could have become a member, but their president takes the country further away from that course.

If a country meets the eu requirements what does it matter where it’s situated.

A vote is required. The location does matter if that's the opinion the member states that will reject a proposal to have a country join the EU.

How do Morocco and Turkey have incompatible culture, economic and political problems?

Look how “democratic” they’re are.
