This is an excellent summary and agrees well with what I hear and read. Erdogan lost none of his authoritarian instincts but he seems to have relented on the unorthodox economic policies of the past. Authoritianism and rational economics are not incompatible. Finally, you left out Azerbaijan and Armenia conflict and the implications for Turkey. I think they are as significant as the relations with the Gulf states.
