Why Neo Ottomanism is bad for Turkey...

Postby Paphitis » Mon Feb 09, 2009 4:00 pm

Burak Bekdil, a rare Turkish journalist with humor, puts it very well when noting that under Erdogan, Turkey is sliding back to its Ottoman past, minus all the non-Muslim nations that constituted it....

As we know in Cyprus, Turkey is hardly a tolerant country. How could it be as it is responsible for 4 genocides, to say nothing of massacres, repression of minorities and other monstrosities......

During the Cold War, Turkish conservatism was anti-communist. Today it is xenophobic. The West would hate to see it, but religion as a pillar of foreign policy risks pushing Turkey into radicalism
