Is turkey with Iran or saudia?

[Proudpakistaniguy]

Why Saudia trying to bully Qatar and other Muslim countries?

Qatar has been strategic ally of Turkey in the region as Turkey has defence ties with Qatar and have soldiers and military base in Qatar and both countries supported Egyptian revolution and opposed military coup that brought Abdel fateh in power. They boht were also against declaring Hamas as terrorist organisation and also backed those rebels fighting to overthrow resident Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Turkey had trade relation with Iran

 

[Big Tank]

What terrorists? who's?

It is nothing new that Syria, Iraq and Iran has been supporting PKK against Turkey for decades.

PKK? Are you high kid?

I'm not saying that Iran is an angel surrounded by evil Wahabi shaitans. Tehran isn't flawless and anyone claiming that Riyadh is the sole source of terror/war/destruction in the ME is simply lying. However, it's also apparent to me that Iran is less sectarian and radical than Saudi Arabia in its foreign policy. Iran is confronted by GCC, cornered by NATO/US and has no real ally in the region. What do you expect? They're behavior is totally rational and understandable. I am convinced that Iran is actually a non-interventionist country unlike Saudi Arabia. Saudis have this aggressive urge to dominate the ME and the Islamic World due to the fact that the holy cities are located on the Arab peninsula.

Personally, I'd always prefer Iran over Saudi Arabia. From a Turkish perspective, they're our cousins. You can't chose your family. I feel closer to them in terms of culture, tradition, habits, food stuff, mindset, mentality etc. than to Arabs in general and GCC-Arabs particularly. This does not mean that I don't see any differences between us, of course, we have fundamental differences. Today, we are two varying and separate nations.

Still, I feel closer to Iranians. They have many features I honestly respect and appreciate.

Iran is a neighbour with which Turkey shares 560 km’s long border, unchanged for almost 400 years. In addition to the Turkish Embassy in Tehran, there are also Turkish Consulates General in Tabriz, Orumiyeh and Mashhad. Iran is represented in Turkey by its Embassy in Ankara, and its Consulates General in İstanbul, Trabzon and Erzurum.

Turkish-Iranian bilateral relations are evolving on the basis of the principles of non-interference in domestic affairs, mutual respect and good neighborliness. Efforts are made to further enhance the political dialogue both on bilateral and regional issues, through reciprocal visits and mechanisms such as High Level Cooperation Council and joint commissions in different sectors.

Again, I am not saying that we don't have any conflicts between us. For instance, Iran's position on PKK is "ambivalent" which is annoying for many Turks. But yet we have learned to live next-door without trying to cut each other's throats even though we're literately enemies in Syria and rivals in Iraq.

We're trading and sometimes we're even geopolitically cooperating in spite of our disagreements (see Qatar conflict, Morsi/MB, Hamas etc).

Iran Ayatollahs = Saudi's Wahabism... Same cancer.
As for your "closiness" with Iran, it's understandable... but your forefathers wasn't from the same opinion... never say that you feel closer to Iran/ Safavids to Suleiman the Magnificent or Osman Gazi, or you may lose your head...
War btw Ottomans and Safavids started with the first one in 1514 and Ended in 1823... that's quiet a long conflict... so as for your "cousin" definition... i'm quite lost...But in the End it's your own opinon afterall.

so to answer this thread... In time of Need Turkey, if need to make a choice, will choose KSA... and not Iran.

The same thing can be said between Pakistanis and Iranian, we share a 909KM border, we also share alot of similarities with them in culture and food. The major difference is religion, Pakistanis are majority Sunni and Iran is Shia. We have absolutely nothing in common with Arabs apart from religion. The reason for Pakistan supporting the Arabs is because there are alot of Pakistanis that work in the GCC arab countries, which send alot of money back home and because the 2 holy places are located there. If it wasn't for these 2 things Pakistan would have stood with Iran over the Arabs. Well atleast thats what i think.

I find your POV very interesting. All Turkish people I know refuse to accept the fact that Turkish, language and culture is influenced by Iranian. I thought all Turkish people were fascist, but then I read your post.

Not a kid you shit midget, you didn't answer the question or you don't count PKK as terrorists.

You change your views any minute based on what erdoğan says. It seems you don't have the capability to think for yourself.

You used to make bad threads and posts about Iran a few months ago and suddenly they become your brothers? Haha

There was a very big difference then. Wars with qara qoyunlu and then aq qoyunlu and then early Safavids were all like cousins to Ottomans, they were Türkmens and it was just a power battle. When Selim fought Shah İsmail it was a bit different and was going towards internal interference and religious.

Today's Iran is completely different and I wouldn't call them cousins.

Please don't be angry toward your own Muslims. We all have flaws and all of our leaders erred but whole nation is not responsible, only enemies of Islam are taking advantages of Muslim's conflicts . See . We're at end cause of disunity and anti Islam are taking advantage and rising .

You wrong... the NAtion ANd his people is RESPONSIBLE for their leaders... either by electing them in power or by letting those corrupt dictators in power by thier own inaction.

The nation and their people ARE NOT the property of the Leaders...

So what happening to a SPECIFIC country is MOSTLY the fault of his own people... Take the Exemple in Egypt or Syria or Iran or whatever... Even in Pakistan... if the leaders are corrupt and keep doing it...it's bc the people have choosen to Shut up and let it happen.

Okay so good thing is to make them recognise their mistake instead of isolating the whole nation from the Muslim world.
Turks , iranians and all Muslims will always be one family due to their one faith .
