What of Turkey's Foreign Relations?

Submitted by Peter Herz (United States), Jun 13, 2011 at 05:42

Not too long ago, I was told by Greeks and Bulgarians that an Islamicist Turkey is the national nightmare of both countries. Given the history of the last seven or eight centuries, I think I can understand why.

Further, does anyone know if Turkey is still jockeying to become a player in Central Asian affairs?
