Because nobody of Europeans want Turkey in EU.:2wave:
Reason:
1. Too Muslim
2. Too poor
3. Too bad "economy".
4. Too nationalistic
5. Too much problems with human rights.
6. Too much unemployment Turks in EU ( more as 50 % ) who are extremely successful in exploiting of
all kinds of generosity western social states.
7. Too much turks Mosques in EU ( more as 90 % of those was erected with tax money). For
comparison in Turkey itself was no one new church erected in the last 500 years.
points 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 may change quickly.
70 years ago, Germany also had some problems with human rights, Bulgaria is not much richer than Turkey and the nationalism may evolve.

Actually it took only a few years for (West) Germany to change from a nationalist, racist and dictatorial regime to a liberal democracy
Turkey's unemployment is bad but EU members Spain and Latvia both have worse (source). Turkey's economy is in bad shape right now, but so is most of Europe's and they're not far behind Romania in terms of per capita GDP. The Islam thing is a point the far right and a few more moderate conservatives harp on and it may be one factor in the delay but I'm not yet convinced that will kill Turkey's candidacy. The Human Rights issues are more important and Turkey is going to need to do better there regarding the Kurds and Turkey has a number of other issues that will delay them for the foreseeable future, but nonetheless they have been making steady if slow progress towards ascension. They finally got to the point of opening negotiations in 2004 so its probably just a matter of time before they get in (probably a long time yet but it will probably happen).

I thought relations between Greece and Turkey had improved recently?
This entire thread has been created as an excuse for the OP to express his religious hatred, although, given his poor grip on the English language, 'express' refers to intention rather than achievement.
Turkey is living a rather positive period in its history at present. The economy, whilst not exactly booming, is certainly not suffering the agonies of its Mediterranean neighbours. Unemployment is high but stable, government debt is not spiralling, and its international relations are being conducted in a way that much of the World can admire, especially its close cooperation with Latin America and its genuine efforts to diffuse the Iran nuclear issue.
The fact is that many opinion polls are now showing that Turks have become tired of courting the EU and have shifted their focus onto forging wider, warmer relations with their immediate neighbours to the east and to the wider global community of emerging nations. Good luck to them. i wouldn't want to become a member of a club that made me jump through hoops to join that no one else has had to jump through. It will be the EU's greater loss both economically (Turkey is a HUGE market for EU goods) and diplomatically, certainly limiting its relevance to any Middle Eastern issues.
Sure, many Turks are quite nationalistic, but no more so than the average DP poster, and less so than the average American, Israeli, Scot, Ukrainian or Greek, I would argue. As has already been pointed out, their government is certainly NOT Nationalist. I like Turkey and Turks, for all their faults and I think that they will prosper increasingly irrespective of whether or not they join the EU.
Europa do not need a Muslim country, because Muslims hate Christians and have huge birth rates.
I'm just curious. If Turkey has a successful EU-like domestic economy, why do so many Turks look for employment opportunities outside of Turkey? Is unemployment high? Are wages suppressed? High taxation? What causes this exodus of Turkish workers?

It does not have an EU-like domestic economy, especially a western EU like. It is a developing economy with many problems.
