Me too. Where was Turkey in the first gulf war? How far backwards has Turkey gone since Attaturk? When Erdogan’s wife started wearing a headscarf it was a warning signal about which way the wind was blowing. Not good!
“...Where was Turkey in the first gulf war?...?
Not on our side. IIRC the US wanted to invade Iraq from Turkey with the 3rd ID(?). Turkey said “No”.
Since coming to power - and over time - Erdogan has purged Turkey of any secular people in the military, law enforcement, judges, schools and many other places.
