@PXaramillo Turkey killed some people in the suppression of the rebellions by terrorist factions like the PKK but they never killed Baha'is, (which aren't Muslim) Turkey is a secular republic which tolerates all religions while Iran is a theocracy.

Please explain what that has to do with Iran.

And bahai are executed.

Indeed, I know for a fact Turkey discriminates against Muslims, if I remember correctly you are banned to wear a Hejan (spelling?) in Turkey. Whereas in "evil" Iran Armenians worship and live free and peacefully.
