Probably so Putin will in exchange ensure Erdogan will get his ridiculous human rights violating position. The Russians will meddle in another election.
The Turkish lie all the time to the media about the visa free travel that "they were supposed to get" though they weren't supposed to get it because they have failed to reach the qualifications.
And then the nazi talk just to piss people off. Though I don't think it'll work very well. The Europeans have quite dealt with their history.
They only took up the joining EU topic to quarrel about something that would appear important. 82% of Turks only want to belong to EU to get visa free travel. Some 70% or more want to have some human rights and economical gains.
Which are all going to slip even farther when Erdogan becomes king.
I doubt it. He doesn't like Putin at all, there was a spat where they shot down a plane, and it has recovered to normalized relations, but nothing more than that.
