Your theory certainly explains why the Turkish government had to hire both Gen. Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort to help sweeten Trump's already favorable opinion of Turkey after already having tossed boatloads of money Trump's way. Thank God we had enough national security systems and people in place to prevent Donald Trump from selling us out to the Turkish government ! I worked with one of Chevron's most brilliant geophysicists, Suhli Yungul, an immigrant from Turkey. He must be at least 95 today if he's still alive. A pipe smoking intellectual who was utterly charming and whose work is still cited today. - pubs.geothermal-library.org If you imagine Turkish citizens have unfavorable views of Europeans, Americans and in fact all foreigners, you can't imagine how unfavorable their view is of Syrian refugees. In my experience Turks, Greeks, Yugoslavians and Hungarians are all greatly suspicious of anyone from outside their town or country, which I assume is a lingering mindset from the Ottoman Empire. It was a government of suspicion and paranoia much like the Czar's government in Russia. These were the only countries the Pew Group polled Turks about. If they had asked about Greece (nearly 100% unfavorable) and hundreds of other countries around the world they all would have been documented having an unfavorable opinion of everyone, even that neighbor of theirs down the street. I've never felt such hate and paranoia as I experienced walking around in the part of Yugoslavia in 1989 now known as Croatia. Once I sat down in a cafe, I noticed it wasn't personal - everyone lining the streets were giving the evil eye to everyone walking by - not nice people. When you visit that insular part of the world you can't take the suspicion personally. They're different when they get to know you - it seems instinctive in that part of the world.
