You're not up to date.
Turkey has blackmailed the EU for billions of euros and membership of the EU, otherwise they will open the floodgates again for millions more immigrants.
I have read leaked documents, a transcript word by word, how the deal went between Erdogan and the spineless EU officials. He blatantly blackmails and the EU officials had nothing to counter offer because of the open border policy that seems to be holy to the EU higher ups - somehow they have to stay open no matter what. The result is: being held hostage by a Turkish dictator, threatening to overflow Europe with more migrants whenever he disagrees with the EU. EU accepts this over closing borders, it's fucking insane.
And it looks like Turkey gets what they want. Before this there were around 75 regulations they didn't comply with for EU membership. Since Erdogan is the leader there, Turkey is going back to the stone age, less human rights, and no freedom of speech. So you can bet that they do not comply with even more regulations now - yet miraculously, all of a sudden since the blackmail deal, the EU said that they comply with the majority of those 75 regulations. Like you said, for decades they didn't comply and now, after blackmailing, they comply with almost all of them in a few weeks time?
Prediction: Unless EU wakes up and just closes the borders, which won't happen, Turkey will join the EU this year already if not in a few months. Mark my words.
