Background: A powerful modern Republic
Turkey is a mighty Republic. Its three times bigger than Germany, and four times bigger than United Kingdom. Its way bigger than France or Spain or Italy as well. Hell, it is bigger than Ukraine with Crimea as well.

Turkey is also on track to become the largest population of Europe (NATO). Turkish is a high income industrialized nation-state and its fertility is very stable around 2.17. Turkish average per capita income is approximately $27,500 accounted for in purchasing power. On top of that, Turkey has a massive modern military force with a state of the art military industry and giant technological partnerships such as being a member of F-35 program and so on).
Turkey is an undisputed powerhouse and a geopolitical giant in the region. It is the most powerful nation-state in Eastern, Southern, and Central Europe (NATO). Its economic might, military prowess, and influence far surpasses any other European nation's in Eastern, Southern, and/or Central Europe. (I'm not taking Russia as "European" here). Only Germany, France, and UK are ahead of Turkey in terms of over-all power (which mainly arises from economic strength of these nations, especially for Germany. Militarily, Turkish military is more powerful than downsized, restrained German forces).

Turkey's modern European-Islamic identity [/U]
Modern Turkish identity has consolidated in the image of Islam and wider Islamic Civilization.Turkey is a very Europeanized country due to their historical legacy of staying the dominant power of Europe for centuries and than later on becoming a Republic integrated into European institutions like NATO and so on. However, Turkey is a country with long-held Islamic roots and Turkish culture holds Islam as a central pillar of society and regards it in a very high esteem--unlike christianity in europe (and elsewhere) which is a dead, humiliated, defeated horse of past and even "christians" don't respect/follow/adhere to it and mostly just disregard it (especially true in Europe and 70% of America).
Modern Turkish culture: Most Alpha in Europe in every way
Turkish culture is most alpha in Europe as well--and especially when it comes to girls. Turkish girls aren't sloots like Western women generally are. They are cultured, modern, and are brought up to stay loyal to their husbands. They generally settle down to establish thriving families. Majority of people I've talked to here agree that getting married, having kids, discouraging abortion, living a more "traditional" life, being conservative (socially i.e keeping your culture, staying with your own kind, protecting your heritage by not blindly allowing uncontrolled immigrations and so on), marrying within your own race, and keeping your "identity" and not letting "outsiders" to come to your land and dilute its purity are some of the critical traits that great cultures should possess.
In this context--which European-NATO nation has most of the above things more than others? No contest--Turkey!
Turkey far surpasses any other European nation when it comes to possessing these superior cultural traits. Let's dissect modern cultural institutions and norms in Turkey vis-a-vis Europe
Marriage
Marriage is central to social life and religious practice of Muslims throughout the Islamic world [and] as well as in the United States.
Source: Encyclopedia of Women & Islamic Cultures: Family, Body, Sexuality ..., Volume 3
http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statisticse...statistics
It is no surprise then to see that Turkey, whose culture is deeply rooted in Islam and Islamic values, has the highest marriage rates in Europe and even entire OECD (organization of all developed nation of the world). Marriage rate in Turkey is 7.8, which is almost DOUBLE than that of EU average of mere 4.2
Source: [/url]https://www.oecd.org/els/family/SF_3_1_M..._rates.pdf[/url]
Remember, these rates are for populations of hundreds of millions. The mere difference of 0.5 is a gigantic difference here, and to have a difference of 3.5 is just phenomenal. Turkish culture gets it right when it comes to establishing strong familial institutions based on bond of marriage etc. It also shows that Turkish girls aren't like European whorish babes who have multiple sex partners throughout their 20's and even early 30's.
Births out of wedlock
Having births out of wedlock is one of the most significant indicator of fall of superior cultural traits in a given community. In U.S, majority of births among black community occur out of wedlock, and this perpetuates the cycle of poverty, violence, and under-achievement within the black community. Studies after studies have shown that kids with married parents are most likely to grow up in a holistic and more content manner--necessary for their future success.
Let's take a look at the issue of births in order to compare Europe and Turkey. According to the latest EU statistics:
"The proportion of live births outside marriage in the EU-28 in 2012 was 40 %. It has continued to increase, signalling new patterns of family formation alongside the more traditional pattern where children were born within marriage. Extramarital births occur in non-marital relationships, among cohabiting couples and to lone parents — outnumbering births inside marriages in several EU Member States.
In seven Member States the majority of live births were outside marriage: Bulgaria (59.1 % in 2013), Estonia (58.4 % in 2012), Slovenia (58.0 % in 2013), France (56.7 % in 2012), Sweden (54.4 % in 2013), Belgium (52.3 % in 2012) and Denmark (51.5 % in 2013). An even higher proportion of live births outside of marriage was registered in 2012 in Iceland (66.9 %)
On the opposite spectrum however, In Turkey more than 97 % of the births happened within marriage."
Source: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-...statistics
Turkey's institutional and cultural set up nurtures good values, healthy upbringing, and Islamically upright identity in its population. This creates a very fulfilling and nurturing culture....unlike the dysfunctional culture(s) of Europe where almost half of births happen outside the bond of marriage.
Abortions: Turkey and West
Abortion is legal in Turkey until 10th week of pregnancy. Unlike Catholicism/Evangelical Christianity, Islam does not believe that life begins at conception. Under Islamic Shari'ah, life or soul is breathed into the fetus until after 120 days of pregnancy. Therefore, Islam is a bit more lenient when it comes to abortions than say conservative Christianity. Despite that, abortions are not very prevalent in Turkish society. Women are expected to remain virgin until marriage and premarital sex is strictly looked down upon. Overwhelming majority of Turkish girls establish long term martial relationships within which they establish sexual bonds with their male partners---and lay the foundations of a stable family and have kids.
In Turkey, merely ~5.8% of pregnancies are aborted due to reasons such as mother's health, complications in the fetus, and social pressures etc. Compare that with Europe where almost 1/3 of ALL pregnancies are aborted continent wide. In beta, alcoholic culture of Russia, 34.5% of all pregnancies result in abortion. In "conservative" United States, more than 20% of pregnancies are aborted by women.
Source: http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/a...335pd.html
Such rampant prevalence of abortions in Europe, Russia, and United States is due to the fact that (mostly white) girls and women in these countries have uncontrolled premarital sexual endeavours with strangers, work fellows, friends, and acquaintances. Having drunken deprave sex, giving blowjobs, receiving facials, anal play, and swallowing different guys' ejaculation every other partying weekend is part of everyday life for Western girls in their 20's and even 30's etc. This results in lots of "unwanted" pregnancies and hence abortion is used as a form of birth control by many women in these socially in-ept cultures.
Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol is a vice that makes cultures lose their vitality in the long term. Uncontrolled alcohol consumption promotes promiscuous sex, fall in fertility of women consumers, and makes a culture socially weak overall. Turkey is probably "most alcoholic" country in the global Islamic world, and that's when overwhelming majority of Turks do not even drink alcohol, and completely refrain from it altogether.
Let's compare Turkey's alcohol culture with that of mass alcohol prevalence in European countries.
"At only 1.5 litres a year Turkey has the lowest per capita alcohol consumption rate in Europe, and approximately 83% of the population does not even try alcohol at all in their life times."
OECD data shows Turks only consume 1.5 liters of alcohol per capita, way below the 10.7-liter average of the EU. Similarly a 2010 WHO report shows that number hasn't changed much since 1961, and adds that Turkey has the highest rate of abstention among the countries listed; four-fifths of men (83.6 percent) and nearly all women (97.1 percent) abstain from alcohol, with 65 and 92 percent respectively having never had a drink in their lives. As for the young people -- 83.9 percent of Turks aged 15-24 have never once consumed alcohol, according to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute.

Further governmental legislation against Alcohol
A parliamentary legislation passed in 2013 prohibited the sale of alcohol from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and forbade the depiction of alcohol consumption on television, billboards, newspapers, storefronts and at festivals.
And that's when Turkey's Alcohol consumption is the lowest in Europe by magnitude of margins. The "least" alcohol consuming European nation (Italy) consumes almost 5x more Alcohol per capita than Turkey (where consumption is barely 1.5 litres per capita, and most consumption is restricted to a small group of people).
Liquor sales within 100 yards of a school or mosque are also banned in Turkey

Clothes & Dressing
Majority of Turks wear clothing that adhere to Islamic standards. Therefore, one won't find majority of Turkish girls wearing short shorts or bikinis in summer etc.
As a whole--Turks are much more devout Muslims relative to atheistic/agnostic Europeans. Islam holds a central and remarkably influential role in Turkish culture, society, lifestyle, and even in politics.
Around 70% of Turkish women have worn hijabs at one point or the other! Around 50% of Turkish women/girls wear Hijab all the time in public.

While (mostly) white girls and women in Europe wear short shorts, bikinis, and trashy revealing clothes to whore themselves---girls and women in Turkey generally dress fashionably with classy clothes adhering to public modesty and moral values inspired from Islam.
Healthy Demographics
For a high-income, industrialized country--Turkey has the best demographics in entire Western world, thanks to it's superior culture as discussed above. On average, Turkey adds nearly 1 million new members to its population via natural growth (new births minus total deaths) with a very healthy fertility rate (2.17 kids per woman on average). ENTIRE EU of 28 COUNTRIES lose population via natural decrease (Eurostat, 2016). More people die in Europe than new births every year. No wonder Europe is dying while Turkey is thriving with a vibrant culture and vitality.
CONCLUSION
The difference between Turkey and rest of Europe is quite apparent in terms of lifestyle, culture, and civilization. Turks live a modern life rooted in their long and highly cherished tradition of being an Islamic peoples. They have healthy family structure, their drinking rates are the lowest in Europe (and 83% people don't even touch alcohol ever), Turkey has highest marriage rates and some of the lowest divorce rates in Europe--and majority of Turks hold traditional views regarding family, reject sex-out-of-wedlock, and highly value their traditional religion, culture, and social values (Thanks to Islam's central role in Turkish culture). Compared to Europe, Republic of Turkey has the most alpha culture out there in the Western world.
In the industrialized, high-income world (20k+ GDP per capita PPP)---Turkey easily stands as having the most fittest social culture.
Turkey is a mighty Republic. Its three times bigger than Germany, and four times bigger than United Kingdom. Its way bigger than France or Spain or Italy as well. Hell, it is bigger than Ukraine with Crimea as well.
