I think turkey should get out of NATO and include itself in the Eurasian union (SCO). These are the reasons why:
- In any RussoChinese - NATO conflict, Turkey will be the first country to bear the burnt of a retailiation from Russia. So, its better to ally itself with Russia (a superpower in close proximity) rather than USA. This will also solve the Central Asian issue because a mediation can be reached. Otherwise, Turkey is effectively just a proxy of USA against Russia/China right now and will be the first one to get destroyed and occupied if Russia retaliates to NATO encirclement.
- EU is not ready to accept Turkey yet, simply (according to me) because they are muslim majority.
- Humanitarian issue (NATO killing millions of muslims worldwide), greater support from Muslim world.
NATO really have any more purpose but Turkey is using both it's NATO and Islamic identity to try and influence both Central Asia and the Middle East similiar to Iran, I believe Turkey will influence syria if assad falls.
