🇹🇷 68% of Turks want Turkey to remain neutral in Israel’s war against Iran, while 2% even want it to join the war on the side of the zionists. 22% support Iran.

Turkey loves to talk big about standing up to Zionism, but at the end of the day, it's still an Imperialist NATO outpost built on genocide and ethnic supremacy, and as such could never meaningfully oppose Zionism without first resolving its own National Questions.

🇹🇷🇺🇸🇮🇷 — Because more questions were asked about this poll, we're providing more information about it from Turkiye Today:

‘A large majority of Turkish citizens want Türkiye to remain neutral in the U.S.-Iran war, while support for NATO has declined modestly since 2018, according to Metropoll's Türkiye's Pulse March 2026 survey, conducted between March 11-16, with 1,186 respondents across 28 provinces.

When asked, "What should Türkiye's policy be in the tension between Iran and the United States?" 68.1% of respondents said Ankara should remain neutral.

Just 22.6% said Türkiye should support Iran, while only 2.1% said Türkiye should support the U.S. and Israel, with 7.2% having no opinion or not responding.

The desire for neutrality was consistent across party lines.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) voters recorded the highest neutrality rate at 67.8%, followed by the Republican People's Party (CHP) at 67.6%, the ruling Justice and Development (AK Party) at 64.4%, and protest voters at 76.6%.

People's Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) voters showed the lowest neutrality preference at 54.8%, with 27.6% of DEM voters favoring support for Iran, the highest of any party.

Good (IYI) Party voters showed the highest rate of support for the U.S. and Israel at 6.1%.’
