Because we needed Turkey to protect the southern flank of Europe and prevent the Russians from getting into the Med. These were both very good reasons.

He didn’t ask why we were in it. He’s asking why we are in it.

maybe there is still a valid reason. I don’t know enough about the area.

That was true back then before the Bulkan states broke away from the old USSR. That and there used to be a government in that country NATO could work with.

Thats the reason we should never have let the Russians back into the Ukraine. Although the Ukraine isnt as important as some think..unless your Joe Biden that is.

Turkey is the mischievous child. Cant trust them and cant guess what they are doing or gonna do.
