Over than ten years later we can't see a "positive” result for Turkey, but the global situation is quite different now from then and the idea of "positive” is very relative because Turkey has received aid from Europe and has improve its domestic economy and its position on the international community. Now Europe is facing a terrorist threat and a refugee's crises, USA is supporting the rebel groups in Syria, Russia is supporting the Syrian government, and, in general terms, everybody is trying to control the petroleum's route, included Turkey. The authoritarianism of Erdogan has been noticed since a long time ago, but also he's abilities for take an advantage from the other's strategies. In this document we post a very difficult assessment about the possibilities of Turkey for become a part of the European Union and, after to check some geopolitical strategies, the international perception of Turkey and the domestic policies, in order to say that it is possible that son, Turkey will be no longer interested about to be part of the European Union.
