The problem with that plan is that Turkey has only one equal on its borders (Iran), and cooking up a cassus belli (supporting the Rojava Kurds & the Syrian government...?) there isn't going to be easy. Everyone else is either friendly (Azerbaijan), an overmatch (Russia & NATO), or a pushover but with overmatching alliances (Armenia & Syria).

I suppose they'll have to settle for a Kurdish insurgency...

There's Syria/ISIS next door, we'll see. Some military interventions and a lot of TV fear propaganda would do the job.

They have some territorial disputes with Greece and an extant DMZ in Cyprus.
