Before we get to Turkey there are other much more outrageous human rights violators.
For example Saudi Arabia, where if you say that you are atheist you are punishable by death and will be. But instead of sanctions, US, UK, France and others do multi-billion arms deals with them.

They have a large and growing economy which isn't tied to a single resource. They have a very large and capable army and are a NATO memeber. They are still not beyond the point of no return which a large portion of their population being compatible with western liberal values. Turkey is a country which you can actually help, Saudi Arabia is pretty much the opposite.
