Should never have been in NATO in the first place, and at the very least they should have been kicked out in 1974 for invading the territory of another NATO member when they invaded Cyprus.

Agreed...Erdogan is showing their true allegiances now and 0bama seems sympathetic to them.

Western Turkey is kind of secular and Europeanized. But these people are becoming the minority due to the more fundamentalist Kurdish Turks in Eastern Turkey. Mark Styne laid out how Turkish demographics are putting the religiously conservative Kurds and fundamentalists in power

Cyprus is not a member of NATO. The pretext for the invasion in 1974 was that the Greek government (then a dictatorship) was about to annex Cyprus.
