Central
Ottoman Empire joined World War 1 so as to join forces with the Germany. The other reason was the friction with the friction with Turkey.
The Ottoman Empire has formed various alliances with European States during its long existence. During the early European Conquests, the territories of Moldavia and Wallachia (in what is now Romania) became vassals of the Ottoman Empire. France also had a longstanding alliance with the Ottoman Empire (1500s-1800s) since both Empires opposed the Hapsburg Emperors of Austria and Spain. The British joined this alliance in 1852 to prevent Russian expansion into the Ukraine during the Crimean War. As France and Britain promoted self-determination in the Balkans, especially Greece, the Franco-Turkish Alliance dimmed. In the years before World War I, the Ottoman Empire had good relations with Germany and Austria-Hungary, eventually creating an alliance with those powers and joining the Central Powers in that war.
No, the Ottoman Empire was not neutral during World War 1. They joined the Central Powers, which included Germany and Austria-Hungary, and fought against the Allied Powers, which included countries like Britain, France, and Russia.

Austria-Hungary. They were subsequently joined by the Ottoman Empire and (in 1915) Bulgaria.
The two nations that joined the Central Powers during World War I were Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. Bulgaria entered the war in 1915, seeking to regain territory lost in previous conflicts, while the Ottoman Empire joined in 1914, motivated by a desire to protect its sovereignty and expand its influence. These nations aligned with Germany, Austria-Hungary, and later the Kingdom of Bulgaria against the Allied Powers.
During World War I, in November of 1914, the Ottoman Empire joined the "team" of the Central Powers, which at that time consisted of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the next year (1915), Bulgaria also joined the Central Powers in their fight against the Triple Alliance and its associates.
Only the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and Bulgaria.
Byzantine empire, if you could call it that. The crusaders had already destroyed the empire as it had existed, cating fractured latin and greek succesor states. But the last vestige of imperial roman authority that had been preserved by the greek speaking byzantines was finally put to an end by the ottoman turks when they took constantinople.
In World War I, the Central Powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire. They were joined by Bulgaria in 1915. Italy refused to go to war despite the Triple Alliance, and later joined the Allies (the Entente Powers led by Great Britain, France, and Russia).
