--Turkey has always sold itself to the highest bidder with no regard to loyalty.--
I find it hard to believe that the U.S. of A. would have been outbid by France. But it's possible.
I agree that Turkey sold us out in the misguided belief that to do so would grease the skids to EU entry but I don't see them as being duped by France (and Germany). The modern history of turkey is defined by nothing if not their unfailing philosophy oy selling out the old ally for the new one once the wind has shifted. They miscalculated (no longer needing the US to keep the USSR bear caged) but they were not scammed.
