#1 It was only thanks to Turkish participation in the Korean War that the nation was able to escape its isolation that followed WWII. Kennedy kicked Turkey to the curb in 61. And its importance in the Cold War ended in 1990. Its significance in Europe is only due to the million Turkish workers German industrialists used to replace Jews as slaves -- and, ironicaly, who are now the tail that wags the dog. Turkey was given one sop with its entrance to NATO. Now an emerging Islamist nation, it certainly doesn't need another. Its entrance to the EU should be blocked -- which now seems moot thanks to Brexit.
