Fair enough, at least you admit it
There is some dispute, though the Phoenicians (where the Ancient Greek civilisation came from) is believed to descend from roughly modern-day Lebanon.
Apologies, I misunderstood you. However what you say is simply untrue. There is still plenty of Normon influence on our culture, from our language and our governmental institutions among other things. Many of our names are of Norman origin. And besides, the Anglo-Saxons were themselves invaders. Britain is a conglamoration of cultures, all brought to us by invaders and immigrants.
As for Turkey's entrance into the EU, yes I support it, although I recognise legitimate problems (such as immigration). Turkey has been a very strong ally to the west, much stronger than Greece who is frankly, a regional troublemaker. The carrot of EU membership has caused Turkey to greatly improve its human rights record (although problems remain), and has made considerable efforts to help resolve the Cyprus dispute.
To those of you saying that Turkey is not geographically in Europe, if that is the case, then neither are Cyprus, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
