Oh, and Turkey already receives EU money. Around 2.3 Billion Euro in 2010 for example. (Couldn't find the 2011 figures.)

Ionno. Why do they only do this after the recent bailing of Greece ?
Anyway, Turkey will likely refuse, if won't be blatantly. Inspite of their pro-EU rhetorics, they really have regarded joining EU as a lost cause, and already realize that joining EU to fulfill Kemalist craving for recognition of westen-ness will mean economic drain for paying all those retirees and all that, and will just stick to the current custom union.
