The only way this could remotely make sense would be if it was meant as an extremely unorthodox solution to the debt crisis where Turkey would have to buy back its lost territories from Greece, thus eliminating their debts (and deeply indebting Turkey instead).
I was leading up to that as a possible outcome, although given how many Turks wish to ascend to the EU, I do not see why their wish should not be granted in a heterodox way.
Syrian Kurds control much of the area currently adjacent to Hatay, it could be arranged for Kurdistan to annex that province as well.
Again, why all the fuss about how the Turks feel about this? Should the US have worried about what the Pakis would think before they threatened to bomb Pakistan to the Stone Age unless they cooperated with the Afghan invasion?

But what have the Turks done to deserve this? Elect Erdogan?

Is supporting terrorism on their southern border insufficient cause?
