I'd say enemy. but they are friends as a matter of "convenience".

it can get confusing in that part of the world. I don't like their politics.

Erdogan arrogated even more power to himself under Turkey's recent "election."

He sure is hell-bent on shit-canning once and for all the secular vision of Kemal Ataturk.

Aren't the Kurds the only people who come close to being a US ally in that region? Not sure how we can benefit from that in a non-chaotic way, though. What a fucking mess.

turkey is a different case. a basket case of unresolved issues emmanating from the after effects of WWI and the Armenian genocide.

I did not expect you to add to the conversation. Sadly , I was correct.

I agree with what many have stated...the Kurds are nostly our friends but it is because they rely almost entirely on our support.

Kurds killed Armenians too!

yes, that is true, but Turks encouraged them to join in. Kurds did not really get involved until much later and with strong Turkish encouragement.

however, Armenia is allied with Russia and they are in cold war with Azerbaijan (allied with Turks) over the Nagorno-karabakh province.
