They’re higher than Turkey, mostly because Turkey’s interest rate is set significantly below inflation. There’s also the future: Europe will raise its rates, while Erdogan shows every sign of sticking to his “untraditional” path.
Eurozone rate is also below inflation. So far there is no concrete indication that the rates will be going up. Given that raising interest rates hurts asset holders first and foremost, I wouldn’t hold my breath this will happen to any significant extent either in Europe or US.

The European Central Bank has explicitly stated that it will start moving interest rates up this month in response to inflation. The Fed has raised their rates fairly substantially. They have to be careful because an overreaction can do more harm than good.
You have an interesting definition of what the word substantial means. Substantial raise in rates was what Russia did, and that stabilized the economy. The west is just letting the inflation run wild, and the longer that goes the worse things will get.
