Why Turkey wants to court Pakistan?
This is obvious. Simply Turkey wants to use Pakistan as a lever against America in its favour. Because Pakistan is a nuclear power, it can influence America. America has to keep Pakistan tamed. To do that, America has to be positive and flexible towards Pakistan in order to contain it and not to alienate it. On the other side of the coin, Pakistan can get a lot from Turkey. Turkey can become an easy GATE for Pakistan to Europe to smuggle high tech nuclear equipment and technology.
