The Great War, where Turkey fought against the western allies, winning against them at Gallipoli certainly has not been forgotten.

So, in short I do not think Turkey can be relied upon to always be a friend to western forces

My Grandfather lied about his age to join the Dorset Regiment in WW1 and ended up fighting the Turks in Mesopotamia.  :(

Yes, because that whole region was part of the disintegrating Otterman Empire and the Turks were fighting off the western allies in those parts. It was all a costly and complicated campaign overall.  Anyone who fought in those parts suffered as much as those on the Western Front. They were all Antipodean cannon fodder in a terrible war. :'(
Sad but true :'(

I fully agree with your editing of the last sentence :y :'( :'( :'(
