Geragos -- a friend of Kim K's -- tells TMZ ... Turkey seems to be on a campaign to co-opt L.A. Icons. First, Geragos says, the Turks used Kobe Bryant's image to promote Turkish Airlines, and now Kim.
Geragos says he believes the Kim K cover is a combination of taking advantage of a celebrity and rubbing salt in the wounds of a people who are the victims of genocide.
Geragos says, "Anyone who has synapses firing would never do such a thing."
