🗯️Serious What is the general scoop on Turkiye?

I've heard alot of conflicting views on Turkiye, and want to get an idea on how you perceive that country. I think the vast majority of us have a love-dislike relationship with it, but wish the best for them despite the political and even civilizational conflict that brews between the Middle East and Turkiye.

I believe that is the right model. The manner in which states operate today, religion has very little to do with the business of running the state.
