the Turks are evil. they refuse to admit to committing genocide against Armenian Christians (1-1.5 million were killed). here's a historical picture of a Turkish/Ottoman muslim official teasing starving Christian children with a piece of bread.

i've never considered that country to be a reliable, secular ally. they've always been just a gentle nudge away from becoming an islamist country, and that's precisely what Erdogan is doing... nudging them in that direction.
