Default Since we are talking about Turks...
How does Turkish sound for you, is it like Arabic or I dont know,just watch both videos:

This one is very long, start watching/listening after 01.00 and watch/listen for 1-2 min. It is a comedy show:


This is news in Turkish, listen/watch also for 1-2 min:

No, it sounds very Central Asian, Arabic has the typical sound "ha" and sounds more rough.

Good, as we are Middle Easterners, I thought some ignorants might think as if Turkish would sound Arabic.

Sounds like a nice language, and not harsh to the ears. Register seems pleasant. Though you should have put up some Arabic language samples too, for a comparison side-by-side.

Side note:
The news reader is really really pretty.

It is actually not about kurds.

Anyway I still will answer it, it sounds Iranic like Persian.

No it isn't. It's not even remotely related to the arabic language (or dialects) or any other middle-eastern language, it's faaar more related to mongolic languages. Turkic and mongolic languages both belong to the altaic language family. I find it very funny that the Germans(and alike peoples) usually associate Turks with Arabs
