It hasn't been possible because the military changes the regime every 10 years. If the EU goes and backs up one guy, this will polarize the next guy. Get your shit together and then ask for help.
Nobody's asking for help, all I said was that it could've been a mutually useful relationship, but it didn't. Also, there are only two actual coups in turkish past, 61 and 80. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have responded to you, as your arrogant and ignorant attitude was obvious from your initial comment on the thread, and your past comments clearly show that you're tendent to blindly post offensive, low-quality stuff.

I'm late responding to this, but the two of you broke the HN guidelines badly with this uncivil spat. We've asked you not to do this before, and if you post uncivilly again, we will ban your account.

The only arrogant one here is you. You blame the EU for Islam's obvious problems. "If the EU helped us it wouldn't have been like that". No, the EU is not here to help you. The EU is here to help itself. It acts only in self-interest as everybody should. If you can't get your shit together, you have only yourself to blame.

I agree that it's off-topic, but didn't the subthread become off-topic at the point that cesarbs asked the question rather than when I answered it?
These calls are matters of degree. Although the original question was somewhat generic, Erdogan is pretty on-topic in a thread about Turkish politics. Throwing in Hitler, Trump, and Putin, on the other hand, makes it hopelessly generic and provocative to boot.

I'm actually quite sorry about this thread, but HN doesn't give me a defence mechanism against this type of trolling. I couldn't flag, I couldn't downvote. All I could do was to hope that someone would do that or maybe you'd come and detach this, which you did, but as you admit, a bit late (3 days). Or to respond, which I unfortunately did, and I did a bit more than just countering misinformation.
That said, I guess your interventions may be a little useful to the community if you don't use this parent-like, intimidating and threatening manners.
