WI: Communist Ottomans

What if the Ottoman Empire went the way of the Russian Empire and turned communist?

-When could this have happened? What was the likelihood of a communist uprising or Ottoman civil war before and after WWI?

-Would the Turks form a socialist union between them and other ethnicities like the Soviets had? Or would they stick to their own ethnic territory?

-How would a communist Ottoman Empire operate concerning foreign policy? Would they ally with the Soviets? Chinese? or go independent?

-What effect would they have on WWII? If they helped would they be repatriated with territory or be given their own satellite states?

-What would this new country name itself? What would others name it?
