Reader comment on item: Turkey, Still a Western Ally?
Submitted by Mar G (United States), Dec 10, 2007 at 17:12
Turkey was, or is, an anti-communist ally., and a business partner. If Turkey was a Western Ally, Mass would be celebrated in the Hagia Sophia and Cyprus would not be a divided country. Its really that simple.
