Turkey

In 1947 America's "staunch ally" voted against the creation of the state of Israel . Yet both the US and Israel have armed this 'ally' to the teeth and supported it in the most shameful way in Turkey 's notorious genocide denial campaign .

Now that Turkey has got what it wanted it needs its "allies" no more . It is the old Turkish strategy of betrayal and deception at work . The British and the French that had saved Turkey from Russia were betrayed for Germany. The Germans were abandoned and the Soviets that had saved Kemal in 1921 were betrayed for America . I wonder why America and Israel could ever trust they would get a privileged treatement from the Turks ?
