We figured it out . It ' s rampant gerrymandering . <| sep |> Charge whatever the heck u want . Someone will buy them <| sep |> Erdogan does not want Turkey in EU . But he doesn ' t have balls to admit that officially . This is why you keep seeing all this charade . Where he is doing his best to piss off EU , then he is acting shocked when EU takes a step back . He is living a delusional dream where Turkey is the new Ottoman empire , and he is the new sultan . In Turkish schools the students are taught that success of their sultans are measured by how much land they conquered . Over the last year , Erdogan mentioned that pieces of Iraq or Syria must be part of Turkey because of few centuries old agreements . He is just a delusional guy who thinks he can be the next sultan , and go in to the history books as a conqueror .
