Thanks to Erdogan, Turkey goes down the shitter for quite some time now. Apart from him silencing every national opposition, he first sponsored the Islamists and then declared war on them - along with the Kurds. The only really motivated and half secular opposition to Isis in Iraq and Syria. But you know, one of our allies. It's not as if that was the first shithead to be supported, until it hits the fan.
I think this is at least partially in exploitation of the emotional vulnerability and resentment resulting from turkey being spurned by the EU.
I suspect EU position the in world would be much stronger today, and would be in a position to use an assimilated turkey as a tool for own policy goals in the near east, as oppose to its position in the Middle East being dictated to it by an external turkey which has now has its own neoottoman objectives in contrary to European interests, if it had absorbed and assimilated turkey about 8-10 years ago, when turkey wanted to be absorbed and assimilated but Europe felt turkey was too middleeastern.
