They’ve been in NATO since back when the US would lock you up for being gay too. Hell, Texas only removed the law banning same sex relations in 2003. And it took a supreme Court ruling to do it. Sodomy was still a crime in the US army until 2014.
What a bizarre comment. Mentioning that other countries have or still suffers from homophobia takes nothing away from this current story about homophobia in Turkey.
Together with Greece, they were the first country to join after the 12 founding members - years before Germany and decades before Spain and the other half of the current NATO members.

That’s what happens when you control a very important location
It’s about power…
Take a map and look up the Bosporus…
They had the power to close it for all warships during Russia’s massacre. They control who passes…
Does Turkey have nukes, cause im sure Bulgaria or Greece would love to have the city of worlds desire.
Considering all 3 are NATO members, that’s not happening soon
Hence why we have the Hellen and Bulgar people just continuously piss off Turkey and then when Turkey does something we see if Attaturk was a fluke.

Just goes to show NATO doesn’t really give a shot about democratic rights in its member countries.
Giving him the Veto right for EU activities is litterally union-suicide…
