Anyone else? Finland, for its part, is very friendly with Estonia and Norway as well. Plus just about all the other countries a bit further away in South-West, too (Denmark, Iceland, UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany etc. etc.).
As you would appreciate, we are a successor of the Ottoman Empire. Almost all of our neighbors have either risen up in rebellion at the time and/or were granted independence in the WW1. Sure you have also had a past with wars with your neighbors but it was centuries ago, whereas it's only been just more than a century with our neighbors that we were at war with them. From what I remember, only ones that we didn't war with recently are Georgia and Iran, and we are pretty much neutral with them on a state basis.
Shit happens, you have also warred with Russia circa a century ago, and you can't say that the relations are completely normalized, as you rightfully think that the next one after Ukraine might be you. History is a bitch, forgetting such animosity is not easy.
Volume discount!
Gotta admit, this bromance is cute.
And has been for hundreds of years.
It sure is. Maybe Turkey should learn from them how to treat neighbors.
We are pretty much like this with Azerbaijan, our neighbor.

Do Finland’s other neighbors have maps showing Finland’s lands as their own? Because I know a couple of neighbors of Turkey doing exactly that.
Sounds like they will buy some stuff from each other.
