From what I understand, Obama's backing of the Erdogan government was a mistake (or ignorant). Although elected, the government supports Isis fighters in Syria by allowing them refuge in the country. The government has also shown a willingness to morph into an Islamic Caliphate.

The Military in Turkey has a history of being the protectors of secular government. I also understand that Turkey has closed its air space meaning when no longer have access to Syria and Iraq from bases in Europe.

The arresting of Judges, after the coup , just flat out reeks.

The Administration can kiss off the idea about any sort of 63 member nation coalition putting pressure on Turkey to demonstrate 21st Century thinking and turn the lights back on at Incirlik. One ridiculous demand already pending restoration of the power is for the US to turn over exiled Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen, a Pennsylvania resident.
