Virtually, since the second decade of past century, Turkey has, more or less been a strategic partner to the 'Christian' West and Europe in particular. Later in the century, Turkey had reinforced this partnership by joining the U.S.-led-NATO without 'fabricated' difficulties, as the case with the EU nowadays. Apparently, the role of Turkey as a military power was then, and now alike is much needed by the U.S. and the EU-led-'Christian World'.
