I suspect it has to do with the post-war German employment of Turks as manufacturing labor and as a bulwark against Soviet activity in the Caucusus. IIRC, the Turks did participate in the Korean and Vietnam wars as well.
Quite true. However that was secular Turkey. Kemal Ataturk’s secular reforms are already out the window, under the bus, dumped in the Black Sea, decapitated—hahahaha.
Erdogan wants to be the neo-Ottoman Caliph.
The Turkish women are generally not amused. Turks are crazy people—worked with them in Afghanistan. Unstable at best and boy, do they like boys.
