Politics:

The times when Turkey and the USA were allies, have faded into oblivion

Both parties stopped paying enough attention to the key problem of their interrelations; i.e. the lack of understanding over the issue of strategic interrelations.

With the USSR breakdown the times when Turkey and the USA were indeed allies against the "Empire of Evil" are history now. Today both countries live mechanically and Turkey started to try to carry independent foreign policy, based on own interests and started to threaten the USA with its "sanctions" in case the U.S. House Committee puts Resolution 106 about the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923 to the vote.
