I generally like them my friend, both the country and its people. I am quite fascinated by their strong military spirit, and their constant prevalence in wars. I think that they are the most military minded people that I am aware of (after Russians may be). That of course had its side effects at certain parts of their history. Arab nationalism’s anit-Turks sentiments have started to fade away these days, and I think that Turks’ popularity is increasing. KSA was not deeply into Arab nationalism movement – rather it has always been more into Pan Islamism, and Turks are viewed favorably from that angel (for the most part). I also find Turks’ hot temper to be amazingly hilarious!
Turkey itself has built a respectable economy without depending on oil or gas reserves (like many countries in the region). Most of us in KSA, I think, considers Turkey as a beautiful country with interesting places to visit. While there is still a lot to do, Turks have relatively managed to establish a pretty good government foundation and institutions that may make democracy and transfer of power more stable in the future.
