Geographic and cultural definitions don't always overlap 100%. For example, geographically, Europe's eastern border to Asia, is usually considered the Ural mountain range, so half of Russia is European. Culturally on the other hand, Russia does not belong to Europe.
As far as I know, it's only a little bit of Turkey that is geographically European, and IMO they are culturally Asian. Still, they could become member of the EU, since EU is (at least not yet) "United states of Europe" (I can't really imagine that)
