Re: Bulgaria and Romania are In. (none / 0)
Given that Turkey is already a member of NATO, concerns about military treaties entangling us in unfortunate wars might remind some of stables being bolted after horses have left...

And I don't think there is any serious argument that if Russia wanted to join the EU (pending acceptance criteria that exist for Turkey, just as they have for Romania and Bulgara) they'd likely be more welcome than Turkey is at the moment. Of course, Russia isn't interested in the EU for various reasons.
