STRICT NEUTRAL TURKEY TURN 12 - SUMMER 1942
Not an official power, but I allow a guest appearance, since it make trade agreements with both Allies and Axis powers, and act as a client state of both UK and GE. Also, it is a power in A&A 1914, and that must count for something

The aim is to inflict financial ruin to all non-muslims.

All other non-muslims to Askale Labor camp.
