Turkey will never be part of the EU proper. 'Never' as in: not in a couple of life times. Turkey has been given the runaround for the last 30 years or so not because there ever was a serious push to integrate them into the EU but because of the fear that Turkey would align with Russia. So Turkey is as much out of the EU as they ever were and the EU laws will not influence Turkey, especially not laws that would make it harder for Erdogan and his cabal to repress the intelligentsia of Turkey. |

Yeah, even with a secular democratic party in power they would not have a chance (a 80 million people country, mostly Muslim, at the time where there is an islamist terrorist attack every month in Europe? Never mind the number of terrorists with a Turkish background, nobody would agree to that, and that's not even talking about its own stability problem and the neighbours Europe would acquire). With a proto-islamic dictator like Erdogan, forget about it.
