Historically, they took down the Byzantines so I dont know wats the problem. Having the Turks in the middle east is interesting for my gameplay at least.

I strongly suspect the Byz and Eggies are programmed so that there's a 95% chance (or better) they'll both go after the Turks early on before they become a threat. (Goodness knows that when *I'm* the Eggies or the Byz, the Seljuks usually die a very quick death. ) It's possible I'm wrong, of course; but I've seen it happen so consistently in the 3+ years I've been playing MTW, that I just can't believe those 2 factions "randomly" decide to wipe out the Turks in almost every single game. I can honestly count on just my two hands the number of times I've seen the poor bastards actually make it to the High Era....
