Everyone, almost, in the EU want Turkey to accept our values and become more us, and would be happy to support it if it had any chance of succeeding. (For differing values of "our" and "us").
So nothing to see here.

The Romans calling the Gauls primitive is a bit like the British calling the Americans primitive.
True, but for Gods sake don't look in the mirror.
My first thought when I read op was that trousers are a relative new development.
The Romans made fun of the Gauls for wearing them.
So if you decide to wear traditional Roman dress, trousers shouldn't be included.
But it's still designed for men.
Unfortunately there are people who will trust you if you're well meaning.
Whether or not you have any inkling of how to do what they trust you to do.
Or any intention...
There are artists who choose to upload their stuff to YouTube.
Pink Floyd has their own YouTube channel.
It is no doubt a calculated business decision.
What do you guess it will cost, and what will you gain.
Another thing is that it's generally not that difficult to get permission to use other peoples music.
There are standard systems and standard rates for that.
So if I want to use Pink Floyds music I can simply check whether they have opened up for that possibility ( and pay), and I'm good to go.
Well, it was sort of the point that there are things we won't accept that Turkey is unlikely to relinquish.
That said apart from maiming baby boys on their penis, Islam works just as well with reasonable modern European values as Christianity.
Ok, ok, just as poorly.
