The biggest reason why Turkey will never join EU is that it would shift the power balance within EU with its 80 million population, everything else is bla bla...Turkey is not begging, it is Greece that is begging and is a humiliation despite being an EU member.
some members of EU put some economic conditions on Turkey which it fulfilled but main reason for reluctance by the Nordic countries was its Muslim population and its affect on EU population, despite claiming to be non-religious and secular they do have different standards when it comes to Muslims.
SO, the problem was NOT with Turkey but some racist little countries in EU. before mocking Turkey do remember that ISIS and your Al Nushrah would have had no successes in Syria had it not been Turkey offering all the helps to the rebels against Asad. even without being an Arab GCC member, Turkey became a host and battle ground for Arabian war games in the middle east. the least you can do is Not insult Turkey if you cant appreciate its support re war against Asad regime.
Basically France and Germany are dictating EU right now, what small countries say doesnt matter, thats why UK and even Greece alongside other small EU members support Turkish membership.
