I'm aware that Turkey is a " Claytons" member of Nato
since the attempted coup backed by America.
Since then Turkey has aligned itself with Russia with
a major gas pipeline deal and recently Russian sophisticated
SAMs which are incompatible with NATO systems (US Systems)
IMO Russia's objective is to "encourage" Turkey to dump NATO.

The USA has refused to allow the extradition of the aledged coup mastermind from the USA to Turkey.
