Everyone should get excited about making new "friends". However, aside from the trivial, this is an alliance forged through common interests (Oil Exploration, peace, land restitution) and no one is foolish enough to pretend everything is pure. Turkey is constantly changing (Constitutions) wanting to show improvement, so why isn't the rest of the world allowed changes? They might be - and probably will be, but mostly hopefully shall be - for the better!
Land restitution, Peace and Israel in one sentence!!!!!!!!!!!
