if their government stopped being retarded islamists for no reason (turning s. sophia into a mosque), occupying the sovereign territory of eu countries (cyprus), supporting a genocidal dictatorship aligned with a geopolitical enemy of the eu (azerbaijan) and actively participating in me conflicts for their imperialist purposes (syria), plus a bunch of other shit, relationships between the west and turkey would be much better, hell they'd probably be in the eu already or close to it however there is a very strong urban vs rural divide in turkey, the western urban areas are basically western while the anatolian interior is much more conservative / islamist and societally more similar to me countries (funnily enough, back in ottoman times, "turk" was actually an insult used to described turkish-speaking muslim inhabitants of anatolia, with basically the same meaning as "yokel" or "hillbilly" today - if you had called a turkish-speaking gentleman from istanbul a "turk" he would get offended)
