The Turks applied in 1987, and Accession negociates have been ongoing ever since. The Turks have been Associate members of the EU (EEC, EC) since 1963.
Greece will never be able to veto a deal, but Turkey will not join because France and Germany do not want them.
In the recent past, the UK Government have supported their application, as Turkey is a significant player in NATO.

I believe that Turkey has already submitted its application for membership and had it approved. No veto can, therefore, be brought into play any more. All Turkey has to do is meet the criteria and it is automatically in. Since the EU is so desperate to keep the migrants at arms length, it is m.o. that the demands on ,say, Human Rights will be 'eased' for them. Anyway, that's as I understand it. Open to correction, as ever.
If you believe 70 million will leave Turkey to come here, then I am not surprised the situation is beyond you. The eastern Europeans came here in the noughties because we were booming and there were plenty of jobs. But now our economy has been mainly stagnant for 8 years. Over the same period, Turkey has seen some good growth. So they would not want to come here in any significant numbers, even if allowed to.
Turkey is becoming a substantial migrant destination country. According to the Turkish Statistics Office, about 1.4 million foreign-born individuals are resident in Turkey. Germany and Britain are the two largest countries of origin for immigrants in Turkey. A stable economy and politics, combined with a warm and secure location, means Turkey is likely to be a prime destination for retirees from the UK and northern Europe,
However, things have changed since Turks first started arriving the in the UK. Turkey has been one of very few countries who reported significant economic growth despite the global financial crisis and expected to continue on that trend in the near future. In Turkey, average income level is ten times higher today than what it was 20 years ago, when large outflows of asylum seekers from the country was the norm. During the last 5 years, for example, more people migrated from Germany to Turkey than the other way around. //

//and giving them back Northern Cyprus? //
That'll stick in their craw. What a brilliant idea. A couple of kids I was at school with were evacuated from Cyprus and could remember tanks coming down the street. They probably had parents in the forces, as there was a base near where I grew up.

Well put. Overdue for someone to make that exact point, too. For every Little Englander who does not want to detach themselves from close family and learn a foreign language, before upping sticks, there must be an equivalent German, Turk or (insert country name here).
The idea that Turkey is some hell-hole that they all cannot wait to evacuate -in toto- is also both insulting and absurd. I'm sick of hearing it. Endless repetitition, as if they think brainwashing works on people.
