Bzzzt, Turkey has been a member of NATO for more than a half-century, 18 February 1952. NATO was organized only a few years earlier on 4 April 1949. Wake up and read a little history before embarrassing yourself.
The Ukraine was associated with NATO by way of the Individual Partnership Action Plan leading to full NATO membership, but in 2010 Yanukovych canceled the plans in collaboration with his Russian secret police boss, Putin.
