About This Trend

Turkey is a transcontinental country located in Western Asia and Southeastern Europe, and a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The trend #TurkeyNotAnAlly suggests that many people, particularly on Twitter, are questioning Turkey's allegiance to Western values and interests, citing its human rights record, conflicts with neighboring countries, and increasing authoritarianism under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rule. This trend is popular now as growing concerns about Turkey's role in regional politics, its treatment of minorities, and its potential to destabilize the Middle East are fueling debate about whether it can still be considered a trustworthy ally.
