Turkey is a democracy.... seeking to forge an independent path.... hence the alignment. Militarily we are engaging more and more with them.
Economically for us GCC more important as we have negligible enonomic relation with turkey.
Malaysia and indonesia do not have a global philosophy as such but as democracies our natural allies.
Absence of BD from the KL meet is simply because BD wants to maintain good relationship with all.
Muslim democracies are our natural allies more than arab monarchies or military dictatorships.
I do not share your assessment of turkey.
BD's military engagement with Turkey is similar to BD's military engagement with Serbia. Means they could provide some military hardware that met BD's requirements. Nothing more than that. Over estimating things can suit only one's dream. BD's natural allies are East Asian closest countries. GCC and West. African, Turkish, Persian countries can be well wishers but not natural allies. Simply because they are for their own geographical agenda. And Muslim democracies are bullsh!t. First of all then educate all Muslims into Quran and Islamic education, language etc. When all the people can talk in a same body language. Then a democracy of Muslims can only work. Only because someone recited Shahada doesnt mean he is worthy to rule and select.
