Turkey will be a test case
Reader comment on item: Goodbye Ankara
in response to reader comment: Goodbye Ankara
Submitted by Prashant (United States), Sep 5, 2011 at 02:21
Dear Dr Pipes:
A lot of us firmly believe that draconian philosophies bring the downfall of a country. Turkey was most modern of Islamic states and now it is moving toward islamism. Turkey will turn out to be a test bed for our hypothesis. Soon the economic growth rate in Turkey will decline and terrorist attacks inside Turkey may go up. What is brewing between Turkey and Kurds and Turkey and Iran is a perfect setup for what could be a very violent future. Time will tell.
