German and French leaders are fools. It is going to be too late when they finally realize.
Turkey is probably the most important country in the region. And can solve a bunch of the European problems, such as, energy, defense, middle east, foreign affairs, and so on...
French/German leaders main objection is stemmed from their 'old' brains, they are still afraid of the compatibility of culture/life. (religion?)
Is anyone willing to push Turkey into a middle eastern or Russian unions?
Now they are trying to 'build a better Europe', but for whom?
Among other problems that Europe's the biggest problem is decrease of population. In 50 years or something there will no Germans or French people left.
Coming to Turkey, Europe is scared of Turkey with its 80 million population. Especially because most of them are Muslims. But, unfortunately, Europe does not understand one thing: they need Turkey! in every aspect! By rejecting the membership in EU, they are pushing Turkey into alliance with Russia, which can be much dangerous to Europe, than Islam :)
Just imagine, two, the strongest armies in Europe joining together...very scary...
