I don't doubt that Iran will continue to attempt to subvert Turkey's secular government.

But the Turks, overall, understand that Islamic fundamentalism has little to offer them economically. They lack the oil wealth to subsidize such a system. This is in stark contrast to Iran, which can afford to "toy" with such economically restrictive systems which outlaw "usury" (though some use convenient work arounds to permit interest bearing debt wealth construction).

Fundamentalism is subsidized by oil wealth. It offers LITTLE in the way of economic relief, and only the amount of social relief that petro-dollars can provide.

Any nation assuming a fundamentalist religious system is doomed as a working self-sufficient economy due to its inherent xenophobia.

The Turks, having few domestic sources of wealth, understand this.

""""According to Greek political commentator Giorgios Kapopoulos, "For an entire decade, Ankara has managed to couple its national interests in the Middle East with the strategic policies """"

Keep printing lies, Guswald!
The hell with this fuzzy headed, hairy, kebab-eating Girogios Kapopopulus! ggg He is a COmmunist that was writing anti-US articles during the Kosovo Crisis! Turkey has been a loyal friend of the United States. They fought along-side Americans in the Korean War and with such bravery that those Americans that got to know them kept them on high esteem for their loyalty. What these anti american Greeks know. They are anti-American, anit-Jewish, and anti European!

Greeks have always stabbed their neighbors, and spit in the palte in which they were fed! They are gelous and afraid of Turkey receiving military assistance from Israel and allowing Israeli Air Force uses Turkish Territory for
excersices and manuvers! And who gives a shit about what those wogs, Iranians and Arabs want? Turkey is an independent state, never part of the East, always looking west! They conducts their affairs as they wish and don't have to respond to Greeks! Above all what is important is that Unites States watches out for their friends and vice versa! Loyalty Gus, loyalty! You don't know that means do you!
