Some of the Pro's for Turkey joining the EU
-Europe has an aging population so Turkey could bring in a young workforce which would benefit Europe and bring new skills into the EU. -The Turkish market and geological advantages could give a big opportunity to Europe with ties to trades/sales in the Middle east and Asian markets. -Security such as the military force. To be allied with a peaceful ("secular") Muslim country could be an advantage when it comes to dealing with negative Muslim groups.
Some of the Con's of Turkey joining the EU
-Turkey could become the Trojan horse of the USA in Europe -Turkish economy will need more help to be on the same level as the other EU countries so the EU will have to pay the balance. -Turkish labor forces are not always welcome in other countries because of the competition or the citizens of the other countries already have the advantage. -EU countries in general have Christian values so to bring Muslim values in could possibly lead to some conflicts. -Eastern Turkish culture could look negative on the Western (European) culture.
These are some Pros and Cons for how Turkey could benefit from the EU.
Pro's
-Turkey will have a secure and large market for her own labor force. -More stable government because of the strict EU regulations. -It could bring in more European contriubuters and open the door to more investments in the Turkish market.
Con's
-Losing "her" own freedom of self-government (cultural, social, political, etc) -EU is not willing to accept Turkish labor soon (before 2020-2025) so Turkey would be giving their advantages before getting any.
