Well, now you can see how complex international relations can be.
Imagine Italy that was considered as a balancing power against Hitler, since they had different interests in the question of Austria, and everyone held their breath when Germany Anschlußed her, "oh now Italy has been angered". But then they became one of the naming powers of the Berlin-Rome Axis.
I can't disagree with you because what you wrote is true. But Szálasi's observation, that a period from 1941 to 1943 Turkey were part of a supporting frame for the Germans, is also true. The situation could evolve like that because those times the German and Turkish interests were aligned. Turkey wanted to preserve her neutrality, and this suited the Germans.
Germany did not have the time to wage war against Turkey. The adventure on the Balkans the incompetent Italian leadership and army forced them into eat away lots of time. A campaign against Turkey would have delayed Barbarossa, probably would forced them to postpone it to next year. And in a year lot can happen. And when Barbarossa was on they did not have the units to do it. They couldn't invite Trukey into the war wither (I'm not sure if any serious attempt was made, they did not really wanted to involve us either, they would have been fine with our benevolent neutrality). But their position was secure enough. Until the Brits started to massage Turkey, and the Soviet to bully her, both into war against the Germans.
Turkey and Hungary was kinda in the same shoes. Our foreign ministry also tried to balance the acts between Germany and Britain, in the shadow of the threatening presence of the Soviet. The difference was, that Germany was closer, and the Brits farther away. The latter had interests in Africa and the Middle East, and Turkey was an important cornerstone in the area, but they had not much to look for in our region. So our involvement had to be deeper in one way or another.
