Populations:

Germany - 82,797,408

France - 59,329,691

Great Britain - 58,789,194

Italy - 57,634,327

Spain - 39,996,671

Poland - 38,646,023

Turkey - 62,700,000

So judging from these figures, Germany has the greatest population in Europe. Also Turkey is more than 7 million shy of the figure you stated. A number very close to the populations of France, Great Britain, and Italy.

As to your other points. Terrorists are already "next door". You suggest Turkey as some kind of buffer zone? Not possible in these times.

Absorb Turkish workers? What makes you think they're all going to suddenly up and leave for other countries?
