Re: ...because Turkey was a firm ally of the US, it would align with "new" Europe against "old" Europe and thus cause dissension within the ranks.

Turkey will not align with Old Europe (Poland, Hungary, Czech Repub, etc...) Keep in mind that Turkey denied the US the opening of a second front in Northern Iraq... New Europe --that is, France and Germany (*)-- would be much stronger today if Turkey were a EU member.
