Well Turkey seems to have given up hope of joining EU anytime soon and therefore is trying to improve its neighbourhood situation. However, if we take a note of the defense equipment dependency of Turks, I don't think they can completely ignore the West for at least another 3 decades. Turkey has rapidly emerged as a developing industrial complex country far more efficient than our sarkari dodos considering their speed of modernization. Whether it is the development of their MBT, UCAV or even their basic trainer jet Hurkuz, they're emerging really strong.
