I will concede that post-Kemalist Turkey is problematic; nonetheless they have historically been an ally of the US, and performing in yeoman fashion during the Korean War. One would hope that their firearm industry is a vestigial element and a return to sanity.
The most recent attempt at removing the malignant element suffered from the same thing that often dooms similar efforts: a reluctance to fully commit to overwhelming force in the quickest manner possible. To paraphrase N. Machiavelli: never deal your enemy a minor wound.
