Erdogan Desires to Change Turkey Beyond Economy

There is no doubt that current President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, desires to change this nation beyond his political ambition. After winning the recent election, the political agenda under the current leader seems to take the nation onto another path. Meanwhile, the economic turmoil in Turkey is causing headaches and pains to this administration. Diplomacy under Erdogan might need some new adjustments, in terms of asking for help from other nations. How is Washington understanding all of those issues? How should the US prepare a "new" dialogue with Turkey?
