Dan, the Turks ARE Europeans. That's debateable in itself, Vinny. Most of Turkey is in West Asia.

The last time I checked about 3% of Turkey's land area is in Europe.
The official language is Turkish, which is the most widely spoken Turkic language in the world. It is spoken by 85.54 percent of the population as a first language. 11.97 percent of the population speaks the Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish as their mother tongue.
Turkey is a founding member of the Organization of Turkic States and International Organization of Turkic Culture, comprising other independent Turkic states, such as Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It is an intergovernmental organization whose overarching aim is promoting comprehensive cultural cooperation among Turkic-speaking states.
[from Wiki]
None of this would lead one to believe that Turkey's population is European. What causes you to believe that is the case, Vinny?

More importantly, Ukraine is under attack, Turkey is just across the Black Sea from illegally occupied territories and good people are dying every day fighting against an unwarranted invasion.
Turkey may not be the best of allies, but they are not enemies. Russia is an enemy dictatorship which has killed people on British soil.

None of which supports your earlier claim that the Turks ARE European. [emphasis in original]
