 They need the land b/c it is strategical location, like the Korean peninsula, but when i comes to be a part of the European Union, NO..

Turkey is a long-standing NATO member (since 1952), a vital security partner due to its strategic location and powerful military, but its EU accession has stalled for years over democratic and rule-of-law concerns, creating a unique situation as a key NATO ally outside the EU bloc, despite strong economic ties like the Customs Union. 
Why Turkey is in NATO:
  • Cold War Roots: Turkey joined NATO in 1952 as a bulwark against Soviet expansion, playing a crucial role in the alliance's southern flank.
  • Strategic Importance: Its geography, bordering conflict zones like Syria and Iraq, and its large, capable military (second only to the U.S. in NATO) make it strategically indispensable for European security.

In addition, the Soviet Navy takes steps to protect its  ballistic missile submarine  fleet in coastal waters behind minefields and ASW assets, freeing up its attack submarines to engage and destroy NATO shipping. Thus, the Soviet Navy is able to act as an offensive weapon contrary to pre-war NATO expectations, becoming a major strategic threat against  resupply convoys coming from North America  with both aircraft and submarines. This advantage is put to immediate use as a NATO carrier battle ...
