Turkic and Aramaic languages aren't related, so any solution would have to be a mix of some kind. Aramaic languages are Semitic, and I doubt the language behind the Voynich text is Semitic. I wouldn't be surprised if it included words borrowed from Semitic (and Indo-European) but I don't think most of the text works the way Semitic does.
Turkic seems more likely both linguistically and historically, but I've yet to read a Turkic solution that feels half way right. The good thing is that Proto-Turkic has an inventory of sounds that could just about be shoehorned into the Voynich script. Syllables structure is also less complex, but there are still problems to overcome. Although not methodologically sound, if somebody spent time trying to figure out the Voynich text on the assumption it was Turkic, I would be interested to read the outcome.
