Amagab: As I said, there are many reasons. If I were to support a Turkish membership of the EU they would have to change dramatically before 2004 - that won't happen. Turkish membership is AT LEAST 20-30 years out in the future, and by that time we may very well have an European federation. They have to change a lot of f**ked up things in their society, like the humiliation of the Kurds.
Turkey is big, so big in fact that IF it was an EU-member it would hold 1/4 of the entire EU population. So a culturally very different country would have imense power in the Parliament. That's dangerous for the rest of Europe. We may talk different languages, but generally we share the same basic view on life and democracy.
Another reason is geographical, Turkey is not European. One little tiny bit of the country is, but that doesn't make it a European country as a whole.
My solution would be to make some trading agreements with Turkey, but not let them join the EMU (euro), at least until they are on the same economic level as the new applicant countries (and new members).
I have other reasons too, but I'm too tired to write more

@bart: I think Estonia will have itīs own money for a few more years. Itīs the same here as in UK: we are so proud about doing things our own way, itīs going to take time to ensure estonians that nothing bad will come with the euro. Still, the prices may go up a little...
