I see nothing to back up your statements.

Turkey is widely recognized as a real democratic government. Refer if you will to their deliberations in the days befroe the invasion of Iraq. The parliament, not the President or the King or the Emir or the dictator, voted over the wishes of the newly elected prime minister to prohibit invasion via their land.

"Turkey is widely recognized as a real democratic government"

Just as widely as all those judges denying Terri Schiavo water and food.

Look, you can wish and hope all you want but Turkey remains a parastate...a corrupt and savage state propped up by billions during the cold war era and not worth discussing in terms of its relevance in the middle east. Heavily laden with a sordid genocidal past, its only relevance is being used by certain neo cons as an example fo a "secular Muslim state"---that's worth a chuckle...and apparently worth something to some here making clueless statements.
