After snubbing Israel, Turkey to hold defense drills with SyriaThat was in 2009. Which was three years after Turkey warmly greeted Hamas on it's first official state visit. Turkey has been turning away from the west and towards Iran and company for a decade. Sure, they've been more subtle about it than Pakistan, but they are sharing the same road..
2009 is a long time ago. At this time I think I would less surprised to hear of Assad making a state visit to Israel than to Turkey. Not because a state visit of Assad to Israel would not be a complete surprise, but because it is at least possible if a deal over the Golan acceptable to both sides could be arranged, and Assad might be willing to do the unexpected in the current situation. Assad traveling to Ankara is impossible right now.
