A-Bomb.

This is coolbert:

"I want one too!"

An atomic bomb that is!

From the Times of Israel the Sultan [President Erdogan] says count me in.

"Erdogan says Turkey should have nuclear weapons like Israel"

"Turkish leader says fact his country is barred from having atomic bombs is unacceptable, says Israel is untouchable due to nuclear deterrent"

"Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday that it was unacceptable that Turkey was barred from having nuclear weapons while other nations in the region had them."

Turkey barred from having nuclear weapons due to 1. Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty 2. Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty both of which Turkey is a signatory to.

MY THOUGHT THAT THE TURK IS BARRED FROM POSSESSING NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN SOME MANNER RELATED TO NATO OBLIGATIONS INCORRECT.

Hardly I think the concern strictly limited to parity vis-a-vis Israel. The Turk sees themselves as eventual major players on the world stage and wants to be prepared for that day, when it comes.
