#1 "In 10 to 15 years the EU 'will be a place where civilizations meet ... It will become a global power with Turkey's accession,' he said."
Pffft... Erdogan doesn't know a turkey when he sees one.

And they'll promptly decide that "This isn't really where we want to be". And leave.

#3 Recep Tayyip Erdogan also said Turkey would press on with its campaign to join the European Union, arguing that anti-Turkish sentiment was not a major factor in this week's rejection of an EU constitution by voters in France and the Netherlands.

Jeeze Louise! What planet is this guy on? The French and Dutch rejections of the ~~EU Operations, Maintenance, and Overhaul Manual~~ Constitution was based upon the dislike of losing their national sovereignty, along which came loss of social programs, bennies, etc etc. The issues are a bit bigger than liking or disliking Turkey. This guy needs a grip on reality. A cluebat or something.
