So, to round out the project of listing Prog artists from the Middle East region, here are the Turkish bands. I also included Georgia and Armenia (close-by countries, each without a lot of bands listed). Note, that for the latter two, I did not go through all sub-genres to pick them out, but did a PA/web search, which in my experience, doesn't always catch every artist, so some may be missing. Please comment if there are any you may know of left off the list. I went back to sorting alphabetically:

yes, Toykey. I've only heard Nemrud, and have an album (which was temp in the PA top 100 at one time). Good stuff. But, listening to Oaksenham right now, and quite liking it. ------------- Z |

Oaksenham's Upon All the Living and the Dead topped my 2018 list. One of the best albums of a great decade.
... and Italian prog band has some Georgian elements incorporated in their music: -------------

I'm very fond of Erkin Koray (Trk) - Electronic Türküler (1974) ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Yep, thats what I was listening to. Cool vids; I guess by "Georgian elements" you mean traditional song/dance. ------------- Z |

I've heard of Siddhartha before. The rest are completely unknown to me. |
