How strong is it? And what are the aspects of Bosnian-Turkish friendship? Commonalities between the two nations?

Before Erdogan they were weak, now they are gradually improving.
Bosniaks feel betrayed because Turks didn't do anything to help Bosniaks during war, after
hundreds of years where we fought for the Sultan around the whole world, from Egypt to Russia.
This is how thinks the average Bosniak.

About commonalities.
We were in the same state for hundreds of years, and Ottoman culture came in large part to the Bosniaks culture.
Islam that is practiced in Bosnia is most similar to Islam in Turkey.

I personally believe that we should not live in the past, Ottoman Empire collapsed long ago, and today Turkey isn't Ottoman Empire.
We need to have on our side each state where that is possible, so why not Turkey.
But I would not accept that they look at us as a little retarded cousin who is not capable of self-care.
No, primarily Bosniaks have to fight for a better position of Bosniaks, and then we shall reasonably request from Turkey that sees us as equal partners.

Erdogan have support by Bosniaks because he unlike past Turkey governments show
interest for Bosniaks.
It is sad that Bosniaks support him because of that, It would be better that Turkey government have same attitude towards Bosniaks regardless of what political option is currently main.
But for some reason, the situation is not like that.

Turks can also dislike Titism, Socialism or whatver in Bosnia, still we support each other and are friendly.
But that doesn't mean we have to close our eyes on political matters.

You can never trust Turks. They care only about themselves.
