When? Probably never, sir. Right now Erdogan is dealing from the bottom of the deck under the kings-ex of NATO. The rest of NATO (including the US) probably doesn't want to shake his tree, and he knows it. His economy smells to high heaven (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-tu...KBN17J0TE?il=0) If he was able to establish Turkey as a leader or political advocate of the Sunni world it could save his ass and move him closer to retrieving the jackpot and title as The Caliphate Gambler. JMHO, but this creep would do anything to have a legacy.
