To be fair, the Kemalist hardliners aren't exactly what I would want to have in the EU either. I wouldn't want to have a state in the EU in which the military still controls (or feels entitled to control) large parts of the government, but the perspective of a new member that is more and more drifting towards fundamentalism is, of course, even more disturbing.
Turkey closening its ties with Iran is a worrying development indeed, but it's just another reminder of why to me a EU membership is out of the question.
