At that time, Turkey was neither economically nor militarily capable of resisting the Soviets. Today, if Turkey had been able to integrate into European Policies, Law and Economy, Russia would not have been able to expand militarily so much. There is still hope. For most people in Turkey, especially between the ages of 15-55, things like welfare and quality life come first before communism or religious movements. But for people who are unhappy materially or spiritually, communism or religious ideologies are almost starting to be used as a means of healing.True Turkey is a member, but they were never a primary Soviet target. All eyes were on Western Europe all through the Cold War. The only real incident that involved Turkey was US intermediate missiles placed there. They were removed as part of the Cuban Missile Crisis, though not as publicly.
I don't see NATO allowing Poland nukes, that would invite more problems than it would solve.
