Why Cyprus and not Turkey this is a very good question if you know the geography near to Europe you can see that turkey and Cyprus are very near, even though Cyprus is UNDER Turkey and they almost can see Cyprus from the south coast of Turkey. - Cyprus is a country that is part of the European Union
- turkey is NOT in the European Union
so there comes the question WHY?
just one answered can define this question because they are very near and Cyprus doesn't had a lot of population so why does they have the opportunity to be part of the EU and Turkey doesn't. is because Cyprus doesn't have neighbors and Turkey have neighbors, but what neighbors!
thats why the EU doesn't want turkey on it's economic union, because their neighbors are very unstable and the immigration to that country could be BIG and then there will be conflicts.
so I think that the EU doesn't wants more conflicts.
