“How are they getting along with Iran these days?”

OPINION: Turkey seems to have a comfortable and cordial relationship with Iran.

Thanks Cindy,

I don’t really know what the situation is.

The Persians and the Turks have an interesting history, and if I recall, not too friendly. Both have strong nationalist tendencies with histories of regional dominance. Also, aren’t the Turks Sunnis?

I wonder if this confab, sponsored it seems by Turkey, is a gambit—or maybe they’re just poking their foot in the pool to test the water. There’s right much at stake it seems, and they’ve been quiet for some time.
