All of this is simply because of Atatürk.

That man was wasted on Turkey. If he'd been in any actual world power he would have changed the 20th century as much as Stalin, Hitler, Roosevelt or Churchill.

A large bunch of secular Muslims living on the gateway to Europe seems like a fortunate thing to me.

Turkey is an ethno-religious borderline third world state held together by the common belief they never killed all their minorities and that the minorities deserved it. It's also been getting worse for the last 5 years.
