Pretty ironic, considering that Turkey under Erdogan is just as close to dictatorship as the US under Trump...
Turkiye also has a large military industry looking to sell to the EU, a large military, and wants control over the black sea (which involves weakening Russia), and wants to be as friendly to the EU as possible to eventually get that coveted EU membership.
