Turkey is still building F-16 components under license, feeding the Lockheed-Martin supply line for many customers. I don't believe they have any problems maintaining serviceability.
Many have already been upgraded to Block 50 and the most basic are Block 30, all well beyond 1980s capabilities.
Avionics maintenance might be an issue but but the Israelis are quite capable of aiding there.
Your criticisms were quite valid in the 1980s when both Turkey and Greece were considered liabilities in terms of NATO capability but certainly not today.
