Turkey has an internal secular/islamist conflict, Kurds, who want independence, huge commerce with Europe, and they are a member of NATO. Siding, with Russians is not in their interest. They are cunningly playing both sides by selling their neutrality to each. US should cunningly help military with a coup, promising that it will recognize it, provided it follows certain terms, like provisional non-military govt, elections, etc. This will kill 2 birds with one stone. Edrogan is too smart for his own good.
