I assume Turkey's currency is in the crapper so Erdogan is looking to fix that. U.K. has left the EU so it was a matter of time for non-European countries to join them.
Cyprus is in the Middle East, yet it's part of the EU. For what it's worth, the majority of the population are Europeans, the language is Cypriot Greek, and there's a city that's basically a paradise for cats (not kidding!). But all that aside, Turkey owns a part of Cyprus and officially, they [Cyprus side] warned not to go there as it can or is dangerous.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that his country, an official candidate for European Union membership, sees itself as an inseparable part of Europe but will not give in to attacks and double standards.
"We see ourselves as an inseparable part of Europe... However this does not mean that we will bow down to overt attacks to our country and nation, veiled injustices and double standards," Erdogan said in a speech to the members of its AK Party.
