Israel Turkish trade 3 billion
Syria Turkish trade 20 billion……explains alot of Turkish bullishness over Israel….a junior partner of the relationship.
Nice NYT article showing the reach of Turkish softpower and its penetration into Arab countries
Regarded ..rightly I believe…as an extention of Western values by proxy.Very good news.Seen as a prelude to an Islamic takeover of the world by the usual crowd who wear those kind of specs.

Worth a read in its entirety.
I always thought that Isreal would eventually be the one that helps unlock the backwardness of the Arab countries ….the eternal emnity of those peoples is overdone.But now it has been beaten to the post.All the riches to the winner.Israel should’nt have spent so much time navel gazing over its own Arab populations and Gaza.
