3rd of October closing in - Hotline for Turkey

Not really. Historically they have arrived pretty late, about medieval times or late medieval times. Culturally they are nothing like any other state in europe. The fact that they have our alphabet is coincidental because it was all Ataturk's vision for turkey, not turkish culture itself.

There is nothing european about turkey. You can't make a case for that.

WRONG! Turkey, in ancient time, was part of Europe. In fact, pre-Hellenic society (before 336 bc.) was europe.

Edit: Come to think of it, Homer, in fact mentioned Europa as mainland Greece opposed to the isles.
