That’s true and lots of analysts expect that a larger part Turkey will look to overthrow him again. And then Putin will intervene and ensure it.

That is the tremendous danger here, a major conflagration as the destabilization increases. Russia cannot allow an Islamist Turkey (neither can Europe, but they are too corrupted - and perhaps will be in the throes of civil conflict - to stop it). Under Obama, the U.S. Is in a terrible position to impact the situation, and thus will lose influence in the region to an extent unimaginable before Obama. We will diddle and passively support the Islamists...and Russian influence could increase dramatically.

Turkey could become another Syria with a horrible civil war lasting for years, creating more refugees if the current rulers stay in power.

Putin will probably not tolerate that.
