Will Turkey Quit NATO One Day To Join The SCO?

[North Pole]

EU, as you know, does not want to except Turkey as a member, but at the same time Turkey is a member of NATO.
I think this double game will force Turkey to quit NATO and start looking for a better place. What place (organization) could it be?
Do you think Turkey might quit NATO one day to join Russia-China's the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)?


What is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization?

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is an intergovernmental international organization founded in Shanghai on 15 June 2001 by six countries: China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Its member states cover an area of over 30 million km2, or about three fifths of Eurasia, with a population of 1.455 billion, about a quarter of the world's total. Its working languages are Chinese and Russian.

Iran appears increasingly interested in joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and form a powerful axis with its twin pillars, China and Russia, as a counterweight to a US power "unchained". The SCO was initially set up as an open and nonaligned organization and it was not initially targeted at a third party. Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Li Hui said that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) will not take in new members before its six members make serious studies. The organization is still very young and the six SCO members need to have further discussions before deciding whether or not to accept new members, Li said 01 June 2004. Mongolia's demand to participate in the organization as an 'observer' was approved at the June 2004 summit. Guidelines on the status of observer nations were approved and it was decided to award Mongolia this new status.

Chairmen of the Parliaments of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Member States meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow's Kremlin. Russia and China moved to fortify their growing security cooperation in Central Asia but reassured the United States that their new-found unity of purpose in the region was not designed to subvert US interests there.

Medvedev says Russia-China force to be reckoned with

Russia's new President Dmitry Medvedev, winding up his first foreign trip, said Saturday the world could not ignore the joint voice of his country and China, and rejected criticism of the alliance. Medvedev said it was symbolic that he picked China as his first destination outside the former Soviet Union. The two countries have been increasingly assertive as their economies grow on the back of rising exports. "Russian-Chinese cooperation has today emerged as a key factor in international security, without which it is impossible for the international community to take major decisions," Medvedev said at Peking University. "Maybe not everybody likes the strategic cooperation between our two countries, but we understand that this cooperation is in the interest of our people and we will boost it whether or not it pleases some people," he said, without naming critics.

But analysts note that a spate of disputes still mar ties between Russia and China, which had armed conflicts in the Soviet era. Negotiations have been bogged down on plans for a Russian oil pipeline to supply China's rapidly growing economy. They are also competing for Central Asia's oil and gas, which was exclusively Moscow's preserve in Soviet times. Hu accepted Medvedev's invitation to visit Russia next year, Chinese state media reported.

This Threat is possible and logical

Because Turks hate United States and when we include Turks' central asian cousins(Turkmen,Uzbek etc) it is all possible
