Turkey has been secular since Attaturk ... it’s been going Islamic for about five years ... there’s a reason that Turkey has called the “Sick Man of Europe” for over a century ...

Actually, they were, for Muslims. And very anti-Communist.

Turkey has taken a decided swing towards Islamism in the last 20-30 years.

Turkey helped protect access to the Med from the Black Sea and surveilled the southern USSR (Sinop). It is in a very strategic location.
