I have always admired the Turks ever since I read as a youngster (studying WWI) how bravely the Turks fought the Germans, and how much the Germans feared them.
My wife's Norwegian cousin owns a place in Turkey and loves it. The locals are friendly and he has never felt threatened or intimidated. Common sense seems not to be so common in this area of the world, but Turkey seems to hold the bulk of it...

They were allied with the Germans.The Turks fought the Russians and the British Commonwealth (ever hear of Gallipoli? How about Lawrence of Arabia?).

The Turks were feared by the North Koreana and the Chinese in the Korean War.
