i really don't think they'll be getting in any time soon, for a host of reasons. armenia is one, and there are economics, human rights, etc. a few EU nations really don't want them in either, austria being one. greece probably ain't too happy either. armenia itself will probably get into the EU before turkey.

What's really sad is that this guy wasn't even bitter about the issue. He didn't hate Turks or hold anything against them, he was just trying to promote the idea of accepting what happened nearly five generations ago and moving on beyond it. The country's stubborn denial and excuses will just make them outcasts in the international arena.
