The European Union is an economic and political union consisting of 27 member states located primarily in Europe. It was established in 1957 by six countries through the Treaty of Rome to foster cooperation and integration. Turkey applied to join the EU in 1987 and has been an associate member since 1963.

Politically, Turkey's strategic location connects Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and it could help resolve diplomatic crises. Militarily, Turkey has a powerful military that could contribute to peacekeeping and counterterrorism in Europe.
