One major problem is the "mountain Turks". Erdogan would not be PM without them. They are Kurds and very disassified with the status quo. They are very Islamic and a death threat to Attaturks nation. Erdogan is manipulating them as it is so easy. Turkey as you see it is sadly dead.

I am merely commenting on the idiocy of an American Diplomatic cable suggesting in all seriousness that the Turks wish to reestablish the Ottomon Empire. Whatever the problem with the Kurds, they are not the heritors of the Ottomon empire. In fact their issue is that they want to split off and form a united Kurdistan from parts of Turkey, Iran, and other parts of the region.
