Persian and Arabic are the same. It would be like saying that Polish, German and French use different alphabets.
Syriac script is also used in Syria.
Any particular reason why [this map](https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/g1ynw2/turkey_borders_7_countries_with_7_different/) is now reposted with a random picture of a misty forest on top of it? Is that supposed to be represent how Turkey looks or something?
Turkey shares borders with eight countries that use seven different alphabets. That count holds up if you practically consider Arabic and Persian (Perso-Arabic) to be distinct. If you got super technical about script families, you only count six but that’s just a semantic (definitional) difference/choice, not an actual mistake.
Okay, with Roman/Latin alphabet, Türkiye and Azerbayjan could be R/L or sth. Because A is shared with Cyrillic and Greek.
And Arabic could be THA, as a distinction from Persian.
A Kurdish-Arabic character for KRG / SDF could bring the total to 8.
Surrounded by rich cultures with indiginous scripts while they adopted latin from Europeans.
EDIT: Not judging though, Ataturk’s reforms were undoubtedly civilizational progress.
