If you keep up with the politicians in Europe have been doing rather than just the headlines, they've already decided to replace their bases in Turkey with bases in other Western European countries. I seriously doubt Turkey stays in NATO much longer unless the military takes over again like they have a number of times in the past.

That upsets all the reasons the Saudis have for trying to turn Syria into multiple States since without Turkey being a NATO member there's no way they'll trust the Turks to not extort ever higher fees from them in return for allowing gas to flow to Europe. They understand the underhanded games the Ukrainians played with the pipeline from Russia through Ukraine to the EU and they're not going to set themselves up for that sort of blackmail.
