#1 The Turks are about to learn that the only nation the EU would give a harder time to than them would be Israel. At some point, even they will have to realize that no how, no way, is Europe ever going to let them in, or ever had any intention of doing so in the first place.

Practically speaking, even if they could pull off some strong bilateral agreements with their immediate neighbors, for their mutual advantage, Brussels would renounce all of them. Punishing all, just to keep their prejudice.

The future of Turkey lies South, not North.

#2 If this doesn't get the Turks into Europe, they could always try Vienna II.

#3 If I were Turkey, I would cut off oil to the EU. That'll teach 'em. [/sarcasm]
