They are all Asian countries. Why did Cyprus successfully join the EU, but Turkey failed?

There are three main reasons. The first point is that Cyprus is richer than Turkey. Secondly, the geographical position of Cyprus is quite important. The third point is religious differences. Turkey is Islam, Cyprus is Christianity and the EU is Christianity. Cyprus successfully joined the EU, but Turkey failed because:

Although Cyprus is a small country, divided into the north and the south, it has always been rich in the war, with a per capita GDP of more than 25,000 US dollars, which is very developed. Therefore, it has reached the conditions of the European Union. However, Turkey is different. Although the country is large, its per capita GDP is very small and it belongs to a poor country. Therefore, the EU will not accept it. If so, will it pay for Turkey? Although Cyprus is small, its strategic position is very important. It is located at the junction of Asia and Europe, at the heart of the Mediterranean. If we control it, we can cross the Mediterranean and radiate Eurasia. Apart from the Black Sea Passage, Turkey's status is not more important, and it is almost worse than Cyprus.

The EU has never wanted Turkey, and it is also afraid that Turkey's accession to the EU will lead to the proliferation of Islam. This is just the opposite in Cyprus. Cyprus has been influenced by Greek culture since ancient times, believing in western Christianity and Catholicism, and there is no difference in race and customs, which is incomparable to Turkey. So in Asia, Cyprus can successfully join the European Union and live a good life, but Turkey has no hope at all. That is the reality.

Although Turkey is an Asian country, it has always felt that it is a European country. Turks really want to join the EU, but they have never been able to. However, Cyprus, a small Asian country, has joined the European Union. There are really some reasons behind this. This is the main reason why Cyprus has successfully joined the EU, but Turkey has not.
