I'm going to bypass the completely idiotic claim that Syrian refugees = Islamic radicals and just point out that Turkey is not a EU country.

Turkey is also not going be a EU country in the foreseeable future. Those talks never got very far and have now been dead for years.

Even further, the whole idea runs completely contrary to Erdogans interests. Europe's backing of Erdogan is based pretty much only on Erdogan willing to block Syrians coming to Europe with any means necessary. (Including shooting women and children.)

Plus many Syrian refugees are kurds. He's not going to naturalize any more kurds.

Also, naturalizing Syrians would make Turkey less Islamic, not more. Turkey is over 95% Islamic, while Syria is only 87% Islamic, while the rest are mostly Christians.
