I don't know. However such a decision would probably be based upon whether or not Turkey believed that it was best to "go with the big guy" which unfortunately would be Putin and the Russian forces he is prepared to commit.

That would most likely mean that Turkey would be prepared to withdraw from NATO, something never believed likely but in the absence of American influence and leadership over the past 6+ years, it can't be ruled out.
