Turkey has got to make up its own mind.
Now there is no Soviet Union, there is no imperative to make Turkey part of the West.
The performance of Turkey in Iraq is questionable, at the very least.
Plus Turkey has to contend with the Saudi credibility gap in the U.S.: They keep claiming to be allies, but the links to terrorism appear more vivid each day.

The folks in Turkey felt that your behavior towards Turkey during the 90s did not warrant their help. You gave the terrorist PKK political and logistical support, allowed them to disseminate propaganda, and denied us arms sales at the height of our war on terror.

During the 90s your government literally shit on Turkey. The peace dividend, I guess..
