Eu isn't that bad. I'm able to study everywhere in Europe, I'll be able to work in every EU country, without having to ask a permit to anyone.
I can travel through Shengen-countries without having anyone to ask me questions.
I can pay in Euro's in most countries

people complain a lot about the EU, but forget to see the good parts of it.
As for Turkey/armenia ,... I wouldn't want to hurt you guys, but don't count on getting into the EU, at least not before 2030...
