Sure, I accepted it. I also think it is Turkey's national interests to be in NATO. Turkey gets ToT and the latest western military hardwares. It is very necessary for a Muslim country to have exclusive access to western technology, as Turkey has. Perhaps Turkey can increase cooperation with GCC to develop their militaries as well, learning from western hardwares...
Well, it is not correct to say Turkey's policies are "directed by washington". Its just that being part of the same alliance and same bloc, national interests often converge. This is a misconception imo that it is "directed by washington"...
And don't worry. What turkey is doing (part of NATO) is not violating any of God's commands (as ray would have you believe).
