  for the united states, turkey’s current trajectory is highly worrisome. the more authoritarian and ıslamist turkey becomes under erdoğan, the less reliable and stable an ally it will be for the united states . ındeed,
  the longer erdoğan remains in power, the greater the risk becomes of the already fragile turkish -american alliance—based, as it is, in the shared desire and respect for a “way of life...
  based upon the will of the majority,and...distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression”—being fully eroded. ın other words, the u.s. relationship with turkey could begin to more closely resemble that with saudi arabia or pakistan, large middle eastern powers influenced by political ıslam with which the unitedstates can do business whenever interests align, but with which it lacks the shared values that underpins a true alliance.
  
  beyond this, it is clear that a turkey under erdoğan , or indeed an authoritarian turkey in general, cannot be a stable u.s. ally or an asset in dealing with complicated conflict zones in the middle east, the balkans, or the caucasus. america’s attempts to use turkey to implement its policies in syria failed miserably; and
  on its current trajectory, turkey is looking to be so consumed by its internal struggle that it can hardly focus its energies on a constructive foreign policy. moreover, rather than being an ally helping to stabilize a difficult
  environment, turkey itself is becoming a problem in its own right for american decision-makers
