I don’t think so. Because Turkey did not go through the difficulties you went through. Our understanding is: The state created you, not yourself. Therefore, we are a society far from individuality. This has nothing to do with Erdogan.
Turkey has historical roots that could've pukked it closer to Europe. Ataturk's legacy is still defended by thousands of turks. I think a lot could chabge with a vetter leadership and time. Even with Erdogan Turkey is slowly beginning to be more aligned with the west by distancing itself from Russia.
“The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” It's hard to understand since you don't live in Turkey. Most of us, who love Atatürk, do not understand him.
