Nuclear deterrence is a component of NATO’s collective defense principle. That psychology stems from Soviet times. There are 91 nuclear bombs in Turkey under nuclear-sharing agreement of NATO.
Not that we would need NATO to handle a solely conventional war in the region now that the Soviets are gone and there is cooperative peace with the Russians. Russia is Turkey's biggest foreign trade partner.
There is no one shooting any missiles into Turkey.

Turkey controls the region's fresh water-sources.
Leaving everything aside, that's enough of assets relevant to this region.

I have to agree, but Turkey has far more value than simply its water resources.
Do you see a Turkish move to Islamic fundamentalism?
He's not going to answer you. He'll just keep throwing up his info, Maybe he's part of the propaganda arm of the Turkish military.

That's too bad. I thought there might be a Turkish response from one who actually knows Turkey.
But if ekrem doesn't want to share, that's fine. There are others who do know as well.
I know what is happening from an external view, but what I was asking was ekrem's own personal view.

I think that, thru history we have seen that every regional power or even the smallest country always play an important role is all about diplomacy.

israel is like a splinter in a a well nourish muslim world, that sooner or later israel, israel might thribe but with muslims help like they did during muslim rule.
like it has during its whole ancient history.
we can go back and read all the modern wars that israel has suffer, and its importan asset has been its people. now thats what israel is lacking, theres no longer enough jews in europe or russia or even america to go and try to have a reenergised israel like it did before its finding.
studying that link that I set up.
during a seperation of births and deaths, in other words natural increase. we can see that
in the year 2010
new inhabitants.
1. egypt 1,623,000
2. libya 137,000
3. algeria 417,000
4. saudia arabia 414,000
5. jordan 156,000
6. turkey 947,000
7. syria 461,000
8. iran 968,000
9. iraq 727,000
10. oman 61,000
11. lebanon 35,000
and I could go on and on with the muslims that are multyplingin europe, the ones in eurosia, the ones in indonesia, china, pakistan, afghanistan.
and israel only has a natural increase of 103,000 inhabitant and we can assume that only 76% are jewish births. (more like 78,289)
so were talking about 6,000,000 new muslims in a proximity of israels 78,000
you do the math....
isral proudness came from americas, and europes intellectual superioty.
now its going to have to be more humble and diplomatic (which to an extent they have been)
but they woke their country lead by imperialist.

He can't think beyond the narrow world view of government inspired propaganda, you will try forever and find nothing, if you go to Turkey you will discover that no one wants to tell the truth and no one wants to listen, that is unless you go and speak to those persecuted by the Turkish government.
Stick to buying Kebabs, it's honestly not worth the effort.

Do you know about what's happening from an internal view, such as the govt arrest of high-ranking Turkish military officials on trumped up charges and the govt harrassing the Liberal media critical of Erdogan with billions of dollars in fines?
How about the loss of an impartial judicial system with AKP installing their own judges?

Turkey’s exports to Kuwait rose 172 percent, those to Qatar rose 203 percent, and those to the United Arab Emirates increased 210 percent.
For the first time, the United Arab Emirates edged out Germany as the top export destination for Turkish goods.

Soaps such as Gumus (Noor in Arabic) and Cry of a Stone are not particularly successful in Turkey itself.
But in Damascus, Cairo and Riyadh, 80 million people can tune in for a single episode.

Quite simply, the Arab world is taking to these soap operas like a duck to water.
The final episode of the most famous one -- broadcast on MBC TV -- called Gumus (or Noor as it's known in Arabic), pulled in 80 million viewers from Morocco to Palestine.
