'Why Muslim Turkey When There is Christian Ukraine?'

There is a new movement in the EU, pro-Ukraine and anti-Turkey.

"One EP member asked, "While 40 million Christians are waiting at our door, why would we start negotiations with Turkey?" while another member brought a comparison to the agenda saying that on one side, a country like Ukraine, with 100 percent of its lands in Europe, has not even been given a membership perspective while negotiations will begin with Turkey, which has only five percent of its lands in Europe."
