Turkey is another bird waiting to end up on the Christmas dinner table of the Anglo-Saxon Whites. The USA responded negatively towards its entry into NATO and was only admitted after subsequent attempts. Turkey is not an EU member, despite attempts to join the EU.
Having said that, Turkey hosted USA nuclear weapons in 1959, during the cold war period against the Soviet Union as a member of NATO. Had there been any conflict arising with NATO and the Soviet Union, Turkey would probably be the first bird in NATO to be roasted by the Soviet Union, already a nuclear state in 1949.
So, as we can see, Turkey was cultivated to be sacrificed for the USA, with the Turks treated less favorably than the Anglo-Saxon NATO members. As of now, those nukes have never been removed. Although Turkey is not a Muslim country, it has significant Muslim population, a point that I think does not end up well in the eyes of the USA.
The Cuba crisis was the result of USA placing nukes in Turkey, which resulted in Kruschev doing the same in Cuba. That is another story.

Where in the world would you find Governments happily waiting for a regime change like in Lebanon and Turkey.
Turkey should get rid of the nukes stationed at the Incirlik Air Base in Southern Turkey since the 1960s. Wonder whether those still works is the question, but at least it still deters.
